In the struggle to recruit family physicians, the Vancouver Island community of Colwood, B.C., had hit rock bottom.
“Zero. That’s exactly the number of family doctors we had in Colwood,” said Mayor Doug Kobayashi. “That’s ridiculous for a city our size.”

The city created a revenue-neutral model that brings physicians onto the municipal payroll alongside police officers and firefighters.
The city pays the doctors a fixed-annual salary of approximately $280,000, plus benefits, a pension and paid vacation. Instead of running a private practice, doctors work out of a city-run clinic, with the municipality covering all overhead and administration. The city bills the province for patient care, similar to traditional fee-for-service clinics.
