South East

As a former physician recruiter with a local hospital, I have an in-depth understanding of the primary care issues and challenges facing the southeast region. In my current role, I am an integrated member of the South East LHIN team and can provide insight into the broader vision of health care for the region. My relationship with Queen’s University provides communities and organizations with a connection to the academic environment.

I look forward to working with your community/organization in addressing your physician recruitment and retention challenges. If you have any questions about what I do or the many programs and services offered by HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am here for you!
