Plans for a new family health facility have been announced in Carleton Place, with the hopes of bringing new family doctors to the area.
On Thursday, the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team located in Mississippi Mills announced it would be expanding its services to the communities of Carleton Place and Beckwith, a region which currently does not a family health team set up.
"New physicians that come out of residency these days want group medical practices, so they're interested in working with other physicians," Hamer tells CTV News. "When I was a resident I remember thinking to myself, do I really want to come to work here in a one or two person office and have to manage everything, and it was scary," Meyers tells CTV News.
"We are not offering major incentives for doctors to come here," Carleton Place Mayor Toby Randall said.
