When finding a family doctor feels like winning the lottery, a new incentive program has given the township of North Grenville a winning ticket.
North Grenville is a township of 18,000 people 50 kilometres south of Ottawa.
"To give up to 3,000 residents in our community access to a family doctor, it certainly seems like money well-spent," Peckford said. The Kemptville District Hospital's emergency department. Mayor Nancy Peckford explained that previous doctors have departed the community or retired recently, leaving a hole in the system.North Grenville's experience is like many other Ontario communities, as incentives are becoming more common to attract physicians to rural areas.Ontarians are without a family doctor, and those shortages are felt more acutely in rural and remote parts of the province.
