B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix was at Camosun College on Thursday to unveil a new ultrasound clinic that's designed to fast-track specialized care for thousands.

The new ultrasound clinic officially opens at Camosun College's Interurban Campus in Saanich, B.C., next month."[It's] killing two birds with one stone. We're helping our patients get better and quicker access to care and we're educating the newest generation of diagnostic medical sonographers right here on Vancouver Island," said Camosun College instructor Kendal Adam.

The opening of the $1.2-million facility was unveiled to applause on Thursday. But some local leaders are still concerned about the state of healthcare in the region.Former Colwood, B.C., mayor Dave Saunders has started a grassroots group to address the health-care crisis, and he says municipalities can play a much larger role.

He hosted a meeting Thursday night to lay out his vision for tackling the doctor shortage, which includes incentivizing developers to build clinics and homes that attract and retain health-care workers.

Speaking about specialized care...is anyone going to report on Phizer being caught on video by Project_Veritas admitting to mutating Corona virus for profit, and saying there making the new vaccine already? Anyone? It was just two days ago...

Wouldn’t this be great if it was available for folks further up island. I’ve been waiting almost a year for an ultrasound.

I'm sick of the bcndp and their failures, especially in healthcare.
