On behalf of the Family Physician Recruitment Working Group, the Town of The Blue Mountains is excited to welcome Dr. Sonia Bali as a new family doctor serving the local community.
Dr. Bali is an internationally trained Family Physician who will be joining Dr. Naomi Klages at The Blue Mountains Community Health Centre, located at 78 King Street East in Thornbury. Before coming to The Blue Mountains, Dr. Bali practiced in health care facilities across Alberta and Manitoba. In addition to providing care at the Blue Mountains Health Centre, Dr. Bali will also support patients at Meaford Hospital and residents in Long-Term Care facilities in Thornbury and Meaford.
“As Chair of the Family Physician Recruitment Working Group, I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Bali to our community,” said Councillor June Porter. “Dr. Bali is the first new family doctor to join our community in recent years and will provide much-needed service to local residents.”
Efforts to recruit new family doctors have been supported by the Town’s Family Physician Recruitment Working Group. The working group is guided by the expertise of local residents, Erin Deviney, Todd Kaufman, Donna McNicol and Robert Turner, along with participation from Brian Harkness and Robert Johnston from the North East Grey Health Clinics. The working group’s mandate is to leverage municipal leadership to support the recruitment of new physicians and support the community by addressing the critical need for local healthcare services.
Please join the Town and the Family Physician Recruitment Working Group in welcoming Dr. Bali to the community!
