The DRHC is happy to welcome Dr. David Goulet, wife Tiffany and twins Abbie and Chloe to Dryden. Dr. Goulet began practice as a GP/Anesthetist August 2nd and is settling nicely into life in the new community. The couple have roots in Thunder Bay as both grew up in the nearby city and Dryden was a great choice for them for many reasons.

Dr. Adam Moir is a 2nd year resident from NOSM in Thunder Bay and he will be coming to Dryden in February for the final portion of his residency. His wife Nancy and son Emerson will be joining him as well; Dr. Moir has signed a return of service agreement with Dryden and the family decided to get an early start by moving here earlier.

Local product Dr. Bruce Cook is in his first year of residency at NOSM and is eager to join the growing group of young physicians that have committed to Dryden over the past three years…I think his mom might be a little excited about the prospect of having her son and young family a little closer to home as well.

A number of General Surgeons are scheduling OR and clinic time to help fill the void left by Dr. Dawes and Dr. Shahi. We were fortunate to have the services of both surgeons here for over 8 years and they will be missed. Alas life goes on and we will be hosting a General Surgeon next Thursday; this will be the second Surgeon to visit Dryden in a month and we are hopeful our efforts will be rewarded. It’s a great set up and hopefully the community is to their liking.

That’s all my news for a Tuesday morning, take care!
