Make the Move. Say yes to Huntsville. We’ll handle the rest.
When you practice in Huntsville, you join the interdisciplinary professionals at Algonquin Family Health Team whose mission is to deliver high quality, evidence-based medical services that empower patients to improve and manage their own health. The area is supported by Huntsville District Memorial Hospital that has inpatient care, 24/7 emergency care services, and a District Stroke Centre. As well, the Huntsville Health Care Clinic supports individuals with cold and flu symptoms and offers comprehensive primary care to those without a primary care provider.
When you call Huntsville home, you benefit from the balance of pursuing your career in an area of unparalleled beauty with access to nature, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and a place where residents are proud to raise their families.
It’s a win-win. Our community is growing, and Muskoka needs 15 new doctors and healthcare professionals over the next three years. You can live the lifestyle you have always dreamed of, while making a huge difference in our community.
