Doctor's Note Sydney NS — Cape Breton's Same-Day Alternative

Cape Breton has the worst doctor-to-patient ratio in Nova Scotia. With 15-20% of CBRM residents lacking a family doctor and only 2 walk-in clinics for 95,000 people, MedLetter provides same-day documentation without the impossible wait.

Cape Breton Regional Municipality faces a severe healthcare access crisis. The Cape Breton Regional Hospital ER averages 8-12 hour waits for non-urgent cases. Only 2 walk-in clinics serve the entire CBRM population of ~95,000. For workers at Cape Breton University, Nova Scotia Health (Cape Breton), Membertou, or the Port of Sydney, getting a doctor's note through traditional channels means losing an entire day.
