Wingham 'underserviced'
Designation should attract
more -doctors to the area
by John Greig
The Wingham-area's designation, as a
physician underserviced area should help
it attract more doctors.
"I'm' .delighted, just delighted," said
Noreen Gnay, chairman of the ;physician
recruiting committee for the Wingham
and District Hospital.: "We will be on the
tours and will have the chance to talk to
more physicians."
As an underserviced area, there are
incentives for physicians tovisit and
locate here, .including government pay-
ment for visits to town, government pro-
motion of the Wingham-area, the chance
'..to attend' special 'recruiting lours and,
meet 'with young physicians'' at, medical
' schools,incentive.. plans for doctors to
move' *,the area and the potential lifting.
of the cap on ,a doctor's salary.

two more physicians are needed in the
area. There are presently six family
physicians working out of the Wingham
hospital, and one surgeon.
' Johns pointed out two people who
were especially helpful in getting the
application together and processed.
Denise Wilkins -Treble, a Wingham,
town councillor who sits on the recruiting,
committee did most of the legwork for
the; application, while hospital Director of
Nursing Bill Woodley provided informa-
tion

tio n and •did some lobbying when needed.
The application has been made before

a:tion process was started in the winter and
submitted in April. What followed.: was
several calls back and forth with the
health ministry.
There were several requests, 'including
getting the: support of all the councils of
the included. -municipalities, While the
ministry said that would be a tough.chal-.
lenge, Wilkins -Treble said they all came
through. • .
That helped the quick processing of,
