Looking for a doctor in the new year? You might want to consider moving to Peachland B.C. if you don’t live there already.

You see partly because Peachland is naturally beautiful it has attracted not one but two new doctors.

Head nurse Lisa Guderyan says “we have exceptional staff and they wanted to come work with a great team in a great community.”

Guderyan herself is working at the clinic thanks in part to a ministry funded program designed to place nurses in key positions in the province to help minimize doctor burnout.

The nurse-in-practice program started in April and is designed to expand access and support more patients with their health needs.

Guderyan says “doctors may treat a patient for a lung condition and part of the process could include smoking cessation, “that's where I come in. Explaining and finding the best options depending on the situation and individual.”

So if you’re in the market for a doctor in 2018 the Beach Avenue Medical Clinic has new patient forms in the office. They have already experienced plenty of interest and as the website says “please note  our services are by appointment only.”
