B.C.'s Health Ministry says BC Cancer is ending its temporary program that saw some cancer patients having to travel to the United States for radiation therapy.
Health Minister Josie Osborne announced the end of the program Monday (April 7), noting wait times for cancer care in B.C. have improved over the last two years.
The two-year program began in May 2023 and was expected to see roughly 4,800 patients seek treatment at two clinics in Bellingham, Wash.
More to come.
