doctors Make a difference here
If you’re looking to practice full-spectrum family medicine in a place where you’ll know — every day — that you’re making a real difference, then Guysborough is for you!
In Guysborough you’ll experience a warm and welcoming community, full of respect and appreciation for what you do.
Physician offices in the Doctor Anita Foley Health Services Centre are located on the lower floor of the hospital, making it an easy transition for doctors and patients requiring access to hospital services. We have an Alternative Payment Plan (APP) contract for office work and a separate contract, with a generous hourly stipend, for after-hours on call work. Our office offers a collaborative practice which includes a Nurse Practitioner and a Family Practice Nurse. Our doctors care for inpatients, nursing home patients and cover our small ER. The province provides a rural locum program for holiday coverage.
