The announcement follows the withdrawal of the clinic's services from the Sundre hospital in July, when doctors said provincial health care funding cuts forced them to choose to keep the clinic running instead. "Our government will continue to ensure that services at the hospital are fully covered and that Sundre residents have access to family doctors." One of the physicians who will be ending her services at the Moose & Squirrel next spring is Dr. Carly Crewe. And so, it's a really, really heartbreaking decision to have to make," Crewe said. The AMA, which represents the province's doctors, filed a lawsuit against the government in April, alleging Shandro's actions breached their charter rights because they were denied arbitration.
