Sackville’s Horizon-operated primary care clinic is still a ways from having a full complement of primary care providers, but the intention is for the clinic to serve as the patient medical home for the geographical region, according to a presentation to Horizon’s board of directors last week.
Horizon CEO Margaret Melanson told reporters that there are two part time doctors working alongside a full time nurse practitioner at the clinic, as well as a registered nurse and a licensed practical nurse. Melanson said Horizon would be “adding a full time dietitian and pharmacist by mid November.”
“At this point in time, we are also hoping to secure space to expand this clinic, because there is a need for additional medical practitioners and allied health providers, and having additional space is going to allow us to really create that collaborative clinic that is envisioned,” said Melanson after the Horizon board meeting on November 7.
