Health Minister Tom Osborne announced incentives based on geographic location. Rural areas will get $40,000 for 12 months return in service, that is also renewable for another year. Emergency trained nurse practitioners will get another $10,000 a year.Minister Osborne says this is on top of the Come Home Incentive for health care workers, which is $60,000. There are nine Family Care Teams in various stages of implementation throughout the province, including one in Stephenville. A team is being developed over the next year for the Deer Lake-White Bay area.
