Central Health is continuing its series of virtual town halls this week for residents who are having trouble accessing a family doctor.

The health authority has been having trouble recruiting physicians to replace those leaving family practice in the region.

The latest virtual town hall will take place on Thursday, May 12 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association has been urging affected patients to have their voices heard.

Those interested in participating are being asked to register online ahead of time.
