Port Hardy’s physician shortage is facing a critical condition of its own, and the soon-to-be last remaining emergency room doctor there says he can’t do it alone.
“I’m working hard to try and prevent that, I’m also working hard to try and look after myself and not burnout.” “This is classic for rural and remote communities where the doctors there are stretched thin and the doctors there are pushed to the limit,” said Nataros.of the Port Hardy Hospital’s emergency department through Feb. 6 due to the staffing crisis.a number that comes as a shock to the district’s mayor.
Port Hardy is the largest community on the North Island, yet Island Health data shows from July 2022 to Jan. 2023, the Port Hardy ER was closed 1274 hours or 25 per cent of the time due to staffing shortages.“Closing for 25 per cent of the time since July, it’s scary. Between Port Hardy and Port McNeill, where patients are diverted, half that distance isn’t covered by cell phone. For those who haven’t been up here, it’s very isolated,” said Corbett-Labatt.
