The mayor of a Vancouver Island community hiring doctors as city employees says it is “very close” to signing two more physicians for its clinic even as other communities inquire about replicating its model.

Colwood Mayor Doug Kobayashi says the city’s clinic currently has one doctor on staff, another is due to arrive in September, and they are close to signing employment contracts with two more physicians.
