Wheely Clean…would you use this service?

Uncategorized

MIHCA has been working with “Wheely Clean” about the possibility of their Mobile Hygienist unit coming to Mayne Island. At our Wellness Roundtable last fall, this was one of the services people said would be a benefit to Mayne Islanders.

To make this a reality, we need to know from you as community members, if this is a service you would use. Wheely Clean needs a minimum number of clients to make it financially viable for them.

If you would use this service, please let us know by responding to: admin@mihcaboard.ca

Physician and Nurse Pracitioner Recruitment

Uncategorized
Actively Recruiting an additional Physician and full time position replacement for the Nurse Practitioner for Mayne Island 

 

With assistance and support from Dr. Losier and our Mayne Island Health Centre Association (MIHCA), Island Health is actively advertising for a Full Time Nurse Practitioner (to replace Leanne Rowand’s part time position) and an additional Primary Care Physician to augment existing health care provision on Mayne.
Recruitment ads have been placed in a number of professional journals and websites provincially and across Canada.

 

Realistically, it is likely to take some time to recruit either a Nurse Practitioner or Physician, but we’ll keep the community updated as we know more.

 

What will happen when one of these positions is filled?

 

If you were a patient of Leanne Rowand’s and you want to continue to be a patient at the Health Clinic you will be automatically absorbed by whichever new provider comes to Mayne first. People on the witing list will be next in line, depending on new provider availability, and gradually added as well.
New patients can register on the wait list through Health Link BC registry.
