Nurses staffing Ezra Wellness in Kamloops risk their licenses: health minister
KAMLOOPS — B.C.’s health minister says unvaccinated nurses working at a new clinic on the Kamloops North Shore are risking their licenses.
Ezra Wellness opened its doors this week. It is staffed by nurses who cannot work in the province’s public healthcare system because they have not received vaccination against COVID-19.
Team lead Glenn Aalderink told CFJC Today Thursday (Oct. 28) that the wellness centre is private and, for now, free. Volunteers will assess patients and offer guidance.
Speaking Friday (Oct. 29), Health Minister Adrian Dix notes, as Ezra is a private facility, it operates outside of the public system.
