STEPS, a healthcare organization in Kamloops, is aiming to expand its model to help more residents access primary care. With over 40,000 locals lacking family doctors, STEPS has stepped in, providing services to 14,000 patients and reducing ER strain by diverting 3,000 cases. However, challenges like funding and space limitations are hindering their growth. By taking administrative burdens off doctors, STEPS allows them to focus on care, and they're advocating to expand their model to more communities.
