As the need for family doctors and other primary care practitioners intensifies throughout the nation, Peterborough County is hitting the road to talk about its own recruitment efforts.

The county is hosting a series of “911 Local Healthcare” town hall meetings, and welcomes residents of Douro-Dummer on Wednesday, November 13^th at 7pm, at the Harvest Room of the Douro Dummer Community Centre.

The goal of the town hall is to share, in person, the work that is being done on their behalf to attract and retain primary care physicians/nurse practitioners in Peterborough County, to educate the public about the current state of the health system, and to discuss how they can become involved — as it takes a community to care for a community.

The session will encompass an introduction to Lori Richey and her role, attendees will find out how to keep up-to-date on current advocacy efforts and learn about the county’s healthcare needs assessment form and the “healthcare ambassador” initiatives, along with Peterborough County’s healthcare resource guide.
