WELCOME to the Physician Recruitment Taskforce web site. We are a group originally formed by the Chamber of Commerce to respond to the critical shortage of healthcare workers in our community. Our primary objective is to recruit Family Physicians. In the course of fulfilling our mandate, we also assist in the recruitment of specialists, nurses, physiotherapists and a variety of other primary healthcare workers.
Family Physicians are a vital component of service infrastructure. Adequate medical service is important to the well-being of our residents, and an element businesses, industries and professionals consider when choosing an operating location. It is important that we have adequate primary health care for everyone.
The Taskforce is comprised of a volunteer Board of Directors and one full-time staff member, Andrea Hynes, Physician Recruiter Coordinator, who reports directly to the board.

Relocation Incentives Sarnia Lambton is an underserviced community according to the Ministry of Health & Long Term Care. Our Taskforce understands the many tasks one must undergo to relocate their practice and their family to another community. With this in mind, the Physician Recruitment Taskforce of Sarnia Lambton has put together a community package of incentives for Family Physicians who relocate to our community for a 2 year Return of Service period. First and foremost, the Physician Recruitment Taskforce will cover your expenses to come and visit Sarnia and Lambton county so that you may see first-hand how the practice opportunities and family friendly communities will positively impact your life! These hosting incentives will cover your transportation, hotels and food costs for you and your family for the duration of your tour. We offer a financial relocation incentive grant to Family Physicians and thanks to a very supportive community we can also provide you with other incentives from the area that will help you and your family settle in. Bluewater Health is the corporation that oversees the hospital sites in Sarnia and in Petrolia. They offer competitive financial incentives to recruited Family Physicians who accept active hospital privileges. |
