For the past two years, pharmacist Aaron Sha has been a staple in Prince Rupert. Doctors and other health care providers in town are all just a cellphone call away. About half of his patients are members of the Kw’alaams, Kitkatla and Hartley Bay First Nations communities, and he learned about their histories, the impact of colonialism on the people, and the generational trauma that many Indigenous patients continue to experience.
Like many rural and remote communities in British Columbia, Prince Rupert has a shortage in health-care workers. Many doctors who lived and worked in the community just a few years ago have moved away, and often, Sha and his team would step in to become part of these patients’ new primary care team — something only recently possible with the pharmacists’ expanded scope in adaptations and minor ailments.
