The Perth and District Community Foundation was proud to announce that the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital was the recent recipient of a $20,000 grant, made possible thanks in part to a donation received by the PDCF in 2008, which helped the foundation in putting up the town\u2019s physician recruitment initiative.<\/p>\n
The funds will be used in compensating for the money used in renovating the Medical Centre, a 6,000 square foot facility situated near the Great War Memorial site. The extensive construction project will result in a complex that\u2019s designed for family physicians to work in. Once finished, the complex will also serve as a key bargaining chip in hiring new doctors and other medical personnel.<\/p>\n
Todd Stepanuik, Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital CEO, comments that the project is part of their commitment to serve the community. The renovation can also be considered as a major incentive for doctors who might want to consider working for the hospital. The recruitment of more doctors means that the community can benefit from the increased quality in healthcare.<\/p>\n
The PDCF on the other hand, couldn\u2019t be more excited with the grant and the initiative. Getting new doctors and getting them to practice here is essential to giving the community access to high-quality health services, this according to PDCF President Bob Leitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
