Residents in need of a primary care provider in the Bridgewater area will have an opportunity to secure a doctor or nurse practitioner on Wednesday. Dr. Shelia Dwyer and Cheryl Soroka will accept new patients over the phone beginning at 5:30pm that evening. There are 150 spaces available in total. Vice President of Health Services Janet Simm says they made some improvements to the phone system to make it easier on those trying to get through. She says when the intake has reached capacity, callers will hear a busy signal. That means there are no spaces left open for this specific intake.
Simm says more patient intakes will be held in the future and doctor recruitment remains a top priority. The number to phone is 527-4814.
