Armogam, 49, is the sole family ­practitioner remaining at Port McNeill Medical Collaborative at 2161 McNeill Rd., which he owns. He spoke out earlier this year when his physician partner, Dr. Joy Mijares, announced she was leaving the practice at the end of April. That left Armogam as the only family physician serving the area and hospital for the last three weeks. Port McNeill is home to roughly 3,500 people, and its physicians are supposed to also serve the Mount Waddington area and isolated regions including Kincome Inlet, Gilford Island, Alert Bay, Rivers Inlet, Zeballos and Sointula. The departure of three of the four ­physicians from the Port McNeill Medical Collaborative “placed it at significant risk of closure,” Island Health said Tuesday. In response, the health authority said, it hired two temporary physicians with rural health-care experience as “additional ­primary care supports” for the community and existing clinic.
