Lower Sackville and Bedford are among Halifax Regional Municipality's fastest-growing communities, with over 60,000 residents between them. Despite the population growth, healthcare infrastructure has not kept pace — the area has only one walk-in clinic and the Cobequid Community Health Centre (urgent care only). MedLetter provides same-day physician-reviewed documentation for all Sackville, Bedford, and Fall River residents.
