Situated
in the Oak Ridges Moraine, 60 kilometers north east of Toronto, Uxbridge is the
ideal setting
for those who wish to live in the country, yet have quick access to
the city. The attractions of downtown Toronto are easily accessible
by road, GO train or bus, while the attractions of living in a small community
like Uxbridge include a
wonderful community spirit, a wide variety of beautiful homes in town or in the
surrounding countryside, extensive recreational activities, sports facilities
and
entertainment centres. Watch
the video of Uxbridge for a virtual tour of Uxbrige. Due to our current
shortage of family practitioners, the Township has been designated
as "Underserviced" by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
Physicians moving to Uxbridge who qualify under this program would be eligible
for certain
financial incentives.
Uxbridge Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee has been
established to coordinate meetings with local physicians and tours of the area
for family physicians interested i
n
relocating to the Township of Uxbridge. Included
in
the visit is the local hospital, Medical Centre, local tourist attractions and real estate. The Doctors in our community are most collegial and supportive, and are looking for additional doctors to share the patient care workload. Family practice office facilities are available in the Toronto Street Medical Centre and the Family Health Clinic, which can currently accommodate up to four additional doctors. We hope that this may have piqued your interest and would enjoy the opportunity to arrange an in depth tour of our community and facilities, and personally discuss the benefits of relocating.
