Fort McMurray loses longtime doctor

Fort McMurray has lost a well-known face in the healthcare community.

Dr. K.P. Wong passed away today after a battle with cancer.

MLA Don Scott helped break the news on Twitter earlier this afternoon:

Wong was an OBGYN that has delivered babies into the Fort McMurray region for decades.

Scott says in a conversation he had with him, they estimated the number was probably around 20,000.

A Facebook group to share memories about Dr. Wong has been created, and has almost 500 members after only a couple hours.
