doctorA new initiative launched by the Abbotsford Division of Family Practice will hopefully make things easier for people looking to get time with a physician. 

Right now in Abbotsford there are over 5000 people looking for a family doctor, while at the same time over 50 physicians who have patient openings.

One of the main goals of the GP For Me initiative is to get those people together, and Abbotsford Division of Family Practice says they want to get 4000 people lined up with doctors by the end of the year.

Other goals include trying to recruit more doctors to come to the area, and easing the administration load so they can focus more on one on one patient time.

The organization plans to roll out the first phases over the next two months.
