Goderich Welcomes New Group Of Doctors

The Town of Goderich officially welcomed seven of its newest doctors at the Part Two Bistro on the Square Wednesday night.

Recruitment Leader Gwen Devereaux says the event recognized doctors who have come to Goderich in the past two years. Devereaux says the goal of the recruitment team was that every resident in Goderich and area have a doctor and they now have 18 family physicians and another eight specialists, so they're very close. She points out that family physicians are often the gateways for care so it's important that everyone have their own doctor.

Devereaux says the community sees itself in many ways like the school system, the safety of the community and housing. But she says one thing that helps to encourage doctors to come to Goderich is opportunities for their partner. She says spousal employment is always part of the conservation and she makes sure that meet with the economic development people in the area to discuss spousal employment.

Devereaux says as pleased as she is with the current situation, standing still is not an option. She says she always has to be thinking ahead in terms of possible retirements or potential moves or even just building services because the more they build services the more they expand.
