New family practice doctor in Omemee
Dr. Jeremy Fletcher starts in August
Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) is pleased to announce that Dr. Jeremy Fletcher will begin his family medicine practice at the Omemee Medical Centre on Aug. 4.
Fletcher will be accepting patients that are registered with Health Care Connect (www.ontario.ca/healthcareconnect). Do not call the medical centre. If you are not already, make sure you are registered with Health Care Connect in order to be connected with a local family physician. You no longer have to be without a family physician to register with Health Care Connect.
Prior to becoming a family physician, Fletcher was a paramedic. He received his medical degree from the American University of Antigua in 2019 and completed his family medicine residency at Queen’s University in 2022. Since 2022, he has been an emergency medicine physician at Northumberland Hills Hospital, Cobourg.
“KLHCI’s Board of Directors and Recruitment & Retention Coordinator are very pleased with the recruitment of Dr. Fletcher. Having Dr. Fletcher choose to practice at the Omemee Medical Centre is important to Omemee and the surrounding communities. We wish him much success with his practice,” states Stacey Gudmundsson, KLHCI chairperson.
Dr. Stuart Bothwell, lead physician for the City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Organization states, “We are looking forward to assisting Dr. Fletcher as he begins his practice at the Omemee Medical Centre and providing additional primary care to the Kawartha Lakes.”
“I am looking forward to be providing care to the citizens of Omemee and the surrounding area,” states Fletcher.
