Antigonish is a university town, home to St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) and St. Martha's Regional Hospital. During the academic year, the town's population swells with students who often lack local family doctors. Walk-in access is extremely limited, making MedLetter the ideal solution for both students needing exam documentation and workers requiring attendance notes.
Antigonish employers and StFX University follow Nova Scotia's Labour Standards Code and academic regulations respectively. Medical documentation requirements apply to both workers and students.
