The provincial government is set to provide an update Monday on its ongoing effort to recruit doctors and nurses from the United States.

Minister of Health Josie Osborne will hold a media event just before noon.

In June, the province launched a $5 million campaign of targeted advertisements to attract health-care workers to B.C.

The Ministry of Health said the campaign would be shown on thousands of advertising screens in Washington, Oregon and California, at locations within a 16-kilometre radius of health-care facilities, as well as on podcasts and Netflix shows.

A provincial release in July boasted that more than 2,000 health professionals have “signed up for webinars and expressed interest in working in B.C.” since the campaign launched.
