On Sunday, Dr. Cody Thomson of Drayton Valley informed his patients he will close his practice and move to British Columbia, a choice he called “incredibly difficult.”

“I never imagined I would be sitting here and writing this letter. I was born in the community and have lived the majority of my life here. I have spent the last seven years getting to know many thousands of patients and their loved ones,” Thomson wrote.
“The professional reasons are specifically due to the current state of affairs in Alberta between its physicians and the United Conservative Party under Premier Jason Kenney and Minister Tyler Shandro."
Dr. Trevor Byers informed his patients that he is leaving family medicine after 20 years of practice in Leduc to focus on specialized work in geriatrics, a choice he calls “truly frustrating.”
“I had not anticipated leaving family medicine at this point in my career, but due to government changes to primary care over the past number of months, I feel a change is necessary for my own survival in medicine,” Byers wrote.
