“I chose Saugeen Shores to relocate my family and my medical practice after having spent lovely summers here. We loved the community feel, the abundance of outdoor experiences, and the proximity of life, work, and play. It wasn’t until I met a few local physicians that solidified my choice to relocate. The breadth of medical care I would be able to provide guaranteed ongoing learning and experiences. The fact this is an under-serviced area also made it a worthwhile move. I would be helping my new community! The collegiality and mutual support among the physicians and health care team at Southampton hospital provides a team approach to care, which is great.”
“Having completed medical school in Karachi, Pakistan, with a focus on rural medicine, I have always had a propensity for rural medicine. After completing my residency at Western University in the rural Petrolia site, I knew the charms of living and working in a small town. Saugeen Shores was a natural choice for my wife and I, given the picturesque natural beauty and its short distance from the ‘big cities.’ It has been a wonderful journey thus far! I do full-breadth rural family medicine, including emergency medicine, clinic practice, and hospitalist. The collegiality, hospitality, and camaraderie are amazing and are the biggest facet of working in Saugeen Shores. I know I can always count on my colleagues for help, support, and advice.”
Saugeen Shores has three medical buildings. Port Elgin’s Dr. Earl Health Centre, operating under the Family Health Network (FHN) model, is situated at the edge of the commercial core and offers individual practice hubs.Ready to learn more about practicing lakeside in Saugeen Shores?
