We know the search for a family doctor can be a challenging one. Like many Ontario communities, Belleville is experiencing a shortage of family doctors. We are working hard to help. Our Doctor Recruitment Program has brought 32 new family doctors to our community over the last several years and we know more will come.
Finding a family doctor
If you need a family doctor, please contact Health Care Connect, a Government of Ontario service that helps Ontarians find a family health care provider. People without a family health care provider are referred to a family doctor or a nurse practitioner who is accepting new patients in their community.
