Yukon rural health centres logged 214 days without a nurse

September 25, 2026CBC News

CBC News, using figures the territorial health department verified, reports that rural health centres had no nursing services on 214 days between August 2025 and August 2026. Closures or reduced service continued this fall in Beaver Creek, Carcross, Faro, Ross River, and Teslin. The department says the community-care model is under review, and that some emergency, travel, and physician services can continue when a centre is closed.
