The Wembley Medical Clinic will be closed indefinitely after Owner Dr. Angela Luckham advised patients via social media post that she will be moving away, and no one else can take over ownership of the clinic.
According to Luckham, her colleague, Dr. Candace Kuhn, is unable to take over the ownership or practice at the Wembley Medical Clinic due to a College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta practice permit restriction.
This comes almost exactly one year after Dr. Luckham indicated she would be accepting new patients for those without a family physician, leading to hundreds of Grande Prairie area residents heading west in hopes of finding a doctor.
Now, patients are advised that they will need to visit a walk-in clinic to review any test results or receive care from a medical professional after May 29th.
According to the clinic, emails have already been sent out to all patients who had email addresses on file, and those who haven’t received an email will soon receive a notification in the mail “within the next two weeks.”
