Burns Lake has secured two more doctors to practice at the new hospital.

Mayor Chris Beach says the Burns Lake Sustainability Project has been working with Northern Health on recruiting doctors to the village.

He says their advocacy has paid off.

“Roughly we have about 3.5 full-time(equivalent) doctors,” says Beach, about the doctors that operate in and out of the town.

“this will be adding two more doctors that will stay in the community on a permanent basis.”
