South Shore: Health Authority Focus' On Doctor Recruitment

Do you have a family doctor? It's a question a number of South Shore residents answer with a "no". However, Vice President of Health Service Janet Simm says the local health authority is working hard to attract more doctors to the region. She says over the past year they've assigned more staff to work primarily in the area of doctor recruitment.



Another five to seven doctors will be needed to staff Bridgewater's new collaborative emergency centre. The health authority is looking to Dalhousie University to try and fill some of those positions.
