While recruitment of a full time physician for the Cut Knife Medical Clinic continues, physician coverage of the clinic will resume May 1, according to Prairie North Health Region.
A PNHR press release states coverage will be provided by physician locums and nurse practitioners.
Though the clinic will remain open, practitioner coverage might not be available every day, states the release.
Medical clinic hours are expected to remain the same: Monday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m.
