Recently, the Ministry gave the clinic the go-ahead to hire an RN, social worker, dietitian and pharmacist, all of whom will serve the two Sudbury sites.
The Sudbury clinic currently has close to 2,000 patients - orphans, Butcher called them, who previously had no access to care.
The clinic has been so successful and the feedback from the community so positive, Butcher and Heale plan on "expanding beyond the three," Butcher said. "Obviously, this model works."
