The Kincardine Family Team is going to be saying goodbye to one of their family doctors.
The organization has announced that Dr. Lisa Denobriga will be leaving the team at the end of this year.
Clinic Manager for the Hawthorne Community Medical Clinic and Physician Recruiter Chrystel Murphy says that it’ll certainly be a loss.
“She’s been a fantastic member of our team for over 12 years with a full roster of patients, and as a member of the community. Everyone’s really sad.”
The health team has announced that Dr. Denobriga is leaving because of family commitments, and they’re hoping that someone will step up and take over her practice soon.
They also feel that the opening won’t be open for long.
“The space won’t be vacant for long. We’re actively recruiting physicians to the area, with three physicians starting in 2024, and we’re hoping to bring a few more to the area as well.”
Initiatives to recruit more physicians to the area are ongoing and include events like the Rural Medicine Retreat Grey Bruce, which is aimed at showcasing the area to doctors and their families.
