The remote, rural Colville community is digging deep trying to fund a new wellbeing and education centre for its 700 strong population.  The purpose-built complex would house medical and social services and provide training opportunities for rural doctors, carers and allied health professionals. It would also include housing for over 65s. The local doctor Kate Armstrong believes the Colville model could be a pilot for other rural communities.
