Amherst is the gateway to Nova Scotia, serving Cumberland County's 30,000+ residents at the New Brunswick border. With limited healthcare access, many residents cross into Moncton for medical care. MedLetter eliminates the need to cross provincial borders for a simple sick note — same-day delivery from a CPSNS physician for all Cumberland County workers.
Cumberland County employers follow Nova Scotia's Labour Standards Code. The border region creates unique challenges as many workers commute to NB but are employed under NS law.
