flag A new virtual emergency care program in rural BC hospitals improves access to doctors amid staffing shortages.

flag British Columbia’s Interior is launching a pilot program offering virtual emergency care at four rural hospitals—Lillooet, Clearwater, Nakusp, and Princeton. flag One physician provides in-person care at a single site while supporting the others virtually, with nurses handling assessments. flag Life-threatening cases still receive on-site physician attention. flag Initially limited to a few nights weekly, the program will expand to seven nights in 2026, aiming to improve access to specialist care, support staff well-being, and sustain rural healthcare.
