“The Vanderhoof medical community recognized two of their own this evening. Dr Nicole Evert was awarded an Excellence Lifetime in Rural Medicine Award this last spring and Dr Mike Makin who has given 30 years of service to the community of Vanderhoof. This is unbelievable, we are often told that 5 years of commitment is considered good. We are so fortunate to have the excellent health care in Vanderhoof from doctors like these,” says Vanderhoof Mayor, Gerry Thiessen.
