Home /Reviewing physician recruitment program News23 December 2020 By Chad Ingram Haliburton County councillors discussed a number of potential changes to the county’s physician recruitment program during a Dec. 16 meeting. The county has a recruitment committee and a physician recruitment co-ordinator in the form of Cheryl Kennedy, formerly the administrator of the Haliburton Highlands Family Health Team. A report received by councillors last week made a number of suggestions, including expanding the scope of the county’s recruitment work to clinics outside of its borders that serve its residents, namely the clinics in Kinmount and Dorset. “The reality is those clinics provide care to a lot of residents of Haliburton County,” said chief administrative officer Mike Rutter, explaining it was the recommendation that if 20 per cent of the patients of a clinic were residents of Haliburton County, that the county assist in recruitment efforts.
