A physician is expected to serve Logan Lake this fall for two weeks after a lull in the summer.

The Interior Health Authority sent locum physicians to Logan Lake in the spring to periodically satisfy the need for a local doctor, but none were scheduled for the summer months.

A locum physician expressed interest to work in the community for two weeks this fall, but specific dates have yet to be confirmed to the Herald.

Locum physicians have also been used in Ashcroft to keep the town’s hospital emergency department open on most weekends. The Ashcroft Hospital and Health Centre is open on weekends from Friday at 6 p.m. to Monday at 8 a.m.
