Renfrew & Area Health Services Village

Residents of the Municipalities of Renfrew, Admaston Bromley, Greater Madawaska and Horton Township have been hearing great things about much needed physician recruitment for our communities. The Municipalities together with the Renfrew Industrial Commission, institutions and businesses have joined forces to create the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village as a not for profit organization dedicated to the economic well being of the area. Physician recruitment was identified first and the most pressing issue. Over a six year period, up to fourteen new physicians will come on stream and the first two have already committed for 2012. A natural question from the public is “can I get on a wait list?” Yes, in addition to a provincial database, which you can access by calling 1-800-445-1822, the Renfrew & Area Health Services Village will offer you the opportunity to be part of a locally administered data base. Everyone will appreciate that we cannot dictate how new physicians create their patient selection; however having a local database will facilitate the selection of local residents by new physicians. Please be patient and call 613-432-3328 or email info@renfrewareahealthvillage.ca. You will be asked for the following information: name, address, municipality and phone number. Except for physicians selecting patients, your information will not be provided any other persons or organizations. With your help, the call for physicians in our area will be answered.
