After five years serving Sicamous at the Community Health Centre, Dr. Carol Connick will be retiring this summer.
Effective June 1, Connick will step away from the practice and nurse practitioner Jennifer Post-Balfour will officially provide services at the health centre.
Post-Balfour has 24 years of experience nursing and more than seven years as a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners are registered nurses with additional education and training that allows them to diagnose and treat illnesses themselves, ordering tests and going over results with patients and performing some medical procedures on their own. They can also prescribe medications.
Post-Balfour will start work at the health centre in the coming weeks to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
