Rural Health: Average Distance to the Nearest Family Physician, 1998 (kilometres)
An important aspect of health care is the distance a person has to travel to get medical services. This map shows the average distance that people in each census division have to travel to reach the nearest family physician living in the same province or territory. (A family physician deals with the day-to-day health problems of family members, and is therefore considered to be a "non-specialist"). The pattern shows that people in the continuously-settled parts of Canada rarely have to travel more than 25 kilometres to see family physicians, whereas people in the sparsely settled parts often have to travel much greater distances.
