Sick and tired of being the only support for the sick and tired. We spoke with a family doctor who's leaving her practice in Grand Falls-Windsor until the provincial government follows through on promises of support

Last year, the provincial government announced community health hubs in Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor. They were supposed to provide primary care for the thousands of patients who are without a family doctor, and to reduce the demand on emergency rooms. Doctors at the hubs have no overhead expenses, but they do have nursing support and they work limited hours. Dr. Sarah Clancy has been running her own practice in Grand Falls-Windsor for ten years, but now, she's had enough of government delays on promised supports. She's closing up her practice in December. She spoke with CBC's Leigh Anne Power.
