We echo the SRPC’s response to André Picard’s July 8 column. Rural emergency departments are not optional – they are essential to ensuring timely, equitable access to care for people in rural, remote, and underserved communities.👩⚕️
A recent Globe & Mail column called rural ERs “glorified walk-in clinics” and suggested closing them. We strongly disagree. Rural Canadians deserve high-quality emergency care close to home. Read full op-ed response: srpc.ca/rural-ers-ar...
