At Dr. Simon Rogers’ office, we understand the importance of prioritizing patient care amidst the ongoing primary care crisis in British Columbia. With nearly one million residents lacking access to a family physician, our healthcare system is under significant strain. To alleviate this burden, we support the Provincial Health Officer’s guidance that sick notes are not required for employees taking up to five paid sick days. This policy helps reduce unnecessary workloads on family doctors, allowing them to focus on providing essential medical care. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work together to ensure quality healthcare for all. For more information on paid sick leave, please visit the BC Government’s official page.
