As a physician, you know first-hand how waiting for care causes patients unnecessary anxiety, pain, deterioration of health, and stress.

It is not news that Canadians requiring surgery or cancer care face long waits, in some cases well over one year before they receive medical treatment. In the province of British Columbia, the current average wait time for a hip replacement is 11 months, while the average wait time for a knee replacement surgery is 18 months.¹

As you know, medical literature suggests wait times for surgery of greater than six months appear to be associated with significant declines in surgical outcomes, as well as, of course, prolonged discomfort and disability for the patient.²
