CRAIK—Hopes are high that a family physician will soon be found to serve the needs of Craik and area residents.

The community’s only physician, Dr. Narinda Maree is closing her Craik practice at the end of July, after which she intends to join a practice in Moose Jaw in August.

According to a notice from Five Hills Health Region, the region has begun discussions to secure a physician to work with the primary health care team out of the Craik Health Centre.

“It is not clear yet how this will look. Physician recruitment is very difficult work but we will do our best to find a resolution to this as soon as we can,” the notice states.
