MedLetter provides same-day online documentation for Georgetown and all Three Rivers residents.

Healthcare in Georgetown

Georgetown is the historic capital of Kings County and now part of the Three Rivers municipality (formed in 2018 by amalgamating Georgetown, Montague, Cardigan, and surrounding communities). The area's economy is driven by fisheries, the Georgetown timber mill (which brought new manufacturing jobs to the region), tourism at Brudenell River Resort, and small businesses. With no walk-in clinic in Georgetown itself, workers must travel to Montague (20 min) or Charlottetown (50 min) for medical documentation. MedLetter bridges this healthcare access gap.
