A doctor from British Columbia is coming to the Kelsey Trail Health Region.

Dr. Kevin Sawchuk will be providing physician locum services out of local clinics throughout the region starting today, Nov. 15.

A locum physician is a physician who works in the place of a regular physician when that physician is absent.

“We are very pleased Dr. Sawchuk is joining Kelsey Trail Health Region in the capacity of regional locum physician. His presence will help physicians throughout the region address work-life balance and his expertise and experience will benefit the patients he sees,” KTHR CEO Shane Merriman said in a news release.

Sawchuk is originally from Powell River, B.C.
