We are rural but not remote. We believe in caring and supporting one another. We love to practice rural medicine and the variety it offers us every, working, day.
We have a robust medical education training program and welcome students, clerks and residents. Our primary care offices are located across the street from our newly expanded hospital - making it easy to hop back and forth when needed. We all belong to a FHO and are supported by FHT allied health staff. We would love to host you for a visit or even have a chat if you are interested in learning more.
Our Physicians.
Our Mount Forest & Area FHO consists of seven rural family physicians. We are able to choose a wide variety of clinical experiences that are not available to our urban counterparts.
All of our physicians have their own community primary practice as well as participate in hospital work - everything from inpatient, emergency and obstetrical care.
