Regional Chair Gary Carr: It’s Physician Appreciation Week – thank you to doctors in our community

It’s Physician Appreciation Week in Halton, and I would like to recognize our incredible doctors for their many contributions to resident well-being, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have played an essential role in promoting the COVID-19 vaccine, while continuing to provide quality treatment and care to patients.

To our doctors: for all of your work you have done and continue to do, I would like to extend my deepest thanks for your dedication during this time.

Halton Region Public Health works closely with physicians in our community to provide the latest information and guidance to help residents stay as healthy as possible. We have supported their tireless efforts during the pandemic by providing regular updates, accredited educational sessions and virtual question and answer sessions. We also work with doctors to protect the community from communicable diseases, support new families with pregnancy, postpartum and parenting support, help residents make healthy lifestyle choices and more.

Looking for a family doctor?

As Halton continues to grow, our Physician Recruitment Initiative helps ensure residents have access to local family doctors. There are always physicians in our community who are accepting new patients – visit the Physicians Accepting New Patients page to find a local practice near you.


Thank you once again to Halton’s physicians for everything you do to help keep our community safe and healthy! By working together, we help keep Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
