Orangeville residents looking for a local family doctor and walk-in medical services are in luck. Chafford 200 Medical Center (195 Broadway), just celebrated its grand opening last Friday (July 9) and is currently accepting patients.
Dufferin–Caledon MP Kyle Seeback, Dufferin–Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones, and Orangeville Mayor Sandy Brown welcomed the new medical centre to the community with a ribbon cutting ceremony during its grand opening.
Mayor Brown noted the need for more walk-in clinics locally, as he’s had several residents reach out to him about losing their family doctor as of late.

With just five customers remaining, Orangeville Mayor Sandy Brown says the line dating back to the 1870s is no longer viable.

“This position is about generally big picture thinking, it’s about change for the better, change for all, and change that is equitable for our entire County – it is about what you make it,” said White to Councillors before the vote. “This position can be a token position that accomplishes nothing much, for a glorified ribbon cutter as it were, or it can be about forward momentum, getting it, keeping it, and using it to better the lives of t
