Calling on Oliver Property Owners with a room to spare.
Whether it’s a room for a few nights or a whole house for long term rental, healthcare professionals are looking for a cozy place to call home when moving to or filling in in Oliver.
The Town’s “Supporting Local Physician Recruitment Working Group,” made up of local residents and healthcare workers, aims to attract and retain physicians in Oliver. The group has identified that a readily accessible database of available private accommodations would support our goal of ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality healthcare in our community.
To support and welcome visiting and new physicians, we are compiling a non-public list of available housing to connect property owners with healthcare professionals.
