UPDATE for Quadra Island Medical Clinic
January 23 - UPDATE for Quadra Island Medical Clinic
We are aware of how anxious people are about the future of Quadra Island Medical Clinic and wanted to share what we see as good news.
At a meeting with Island Health and Ministry program staff, the Quadra Island Health Society (QIHS) Board received verbal assurances for continued funding for the Quadra Island Medical Clinic (QIMC). This will help cover overhead costs until September 2026.
We are also excited to announce that Dr. Hughes will be continuing on Part time at the clinic. More details to come regarding his schedule.
There is still, of course, the need to recruit another doctor. Acknowledging how challenging this is, Island Health is providing the financial framework for us to hire doctors who can work part-time. This model is used in Cortes to ensure that a physician is available at their clinic at least 3 days a week.
As a result of these two decisions, the potential closure of QIMC has been deferred until the fall of 2026. This extension allows the clinic to remain open with physician coverage several days a week while we continue our recruitment efforts for a permanent full-time physician.
Sincerely,
Quadra Island Health Society for QI Medical Clinic
