Summerside is PEI's second-largest city with over 16,000 residents, but healthcare access remains limited. The Prince County Hospital walk-in is the only option for unattached patients, and it regularly reaches capacity. For workers at Cavendish Farms, the Summerside tax centre, and local businesses, MedLetter provides same-day sick note delivery without the 2-4 hour clinic wait.
Summerside is PEI's second city and the economic hub of Prince County. Home to Cavendish Farms' corporate operations, the CRA tax processing centre, and a growing aerospace sector (Slemon Park), the city's workforce relies on limited healthcare infrastructure. The Prince County Hospital walk-in clinic is the primary option for the 25%+ of Summerside residents without a family doctor. When it reaches capacity — which happens frequently during flu season and summer tourist influx — workers face driving to Charlottetown (45 min) or going without documentation. MedLetter solves this with same-day online sick notes.
