Health Care Professional Student Sponsorship Program


The Municipality of Shelburne will financially support a Shelburne County health care professional student sponsorship program. The Municipality will provide 3 thousand 110 dollars to each local student who chooses to train in the health care field and return to provide services to the residents of the Muncicpality. The investment is in addition to the monies Council spent to recruit a physician last year, and recruitment efforts this year. The Municipality has also committed 200 thousand dollars for a new community health clinic. Provincial funding partners have yet to make a commitment.
