Dr. Tim Holland is the medical lead of the Newcomer Health Clinic in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and one of the chairs of the N4 Community of Practice (CoP) Steering Committee. Congratulations to Dr. Holland and his team on this exciting news!
Dr. Tim Holland becomes emotional thinking about a time last fall when the newcomers health clinic in Halifax had to stop taking new patients.
Faced with a staffing crunch and financial resources stretched to the breaking point, it was no longer safe for the clinic dedicated to refugees to see new patients, Holland, the site's medical lead, told reporters on Tuesday.
Thanks to new funding first announced in last spring's budget, however, Holland said the clinic is now on "long-term sustainable footing."
"These are happy tears," he said.
