King announces PC initiatives to expand access to healthcare

Another healthcare announcement on Friday by Progressive Conservative Leader Dennis King as he provided more details on the PC plan to expand access to care. King says a re-elected PC government would create a Portable Health Benefits Program to provide health, dental, and medication insurance for workers who may not be employed full-time, year-round, or those facing barriers to insurance coverage like seasonal workers; expand tools like Skip the Waiting Room to reduce missed appointments; work with community partners to establish Access Clinic Exam Spaces for local pharmacists, physicians, nurse practitioners, and locum physicians to provide walk-in clinics; and develop and support a Chronic Pain Management Strategy and Chronic Pain Management Clinic.
