Princeton, British Columbia Dr. Mousa joins Princeton General Hospital and Cascade Medical Centre The physicians and nurse practitioners at Princeton General Hospital and the Cascade Medical Centre are delighted to welcome Dr. M. Mousa to the hospital and to their practice. Dr. Mousa was recruited through the International Medical Graduate Program and completed his Practice Ready Assessment in Castlegar, B.C. He also trained and practiced medicine in Egypt for many years and brings an abundance of clinical experience with him. The Practice Ready Assessment program assesses internationally trained physicians for practice in B.C. and is funded by the Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues – a collaborative committee of the Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC. Dr. Mousa joined the centre on Feb. 15, 2016 and will be adding patients to his practice over the coming months. While it is the ongoing goal for everyone in the community to have a primary care provider (family physician or nurse practitioner) the hospital and medical centre ask for patience as they do their best to attach those with the greatest medical needs first. Residents of Princeton and the local area can fill out a “request for attachment” form at the medical centre to ensure the centre is aware of you and your medical history which will help them identify those wishing to have a primary care provider. As always, the emergency department is open 24/7 for those requiring urgent care. A nurse is on duty and onsite to assess patients and a physician is available on call. The hospital and medical centre thank you for your continued patience and understanding as they strive to provide excellent medical care for everyone in the community. - 30 -
