Although healthcare and physician recruitment are not a municipal responsibility, the City of
Belleville has recognized the need and implemented one of the most successful physician
recruitment programs in the province, recruiting almost 70 physicians and ten nurse
practitioners. The City has recognized the importance of, and the challenges with, attracting
much needed specialists to the area and has been working closely with Quinte Health to attract
the skills needed by local residents.

For residents in need of a family physician or a nurse practitioner, it is important to register

to place patients with physicians and can be relied upon by doctors and nurse practitioners
when developing or expanding their roster of patients. Registering with HCC is the key to
finding primary health care in Ontario. You can register with HCC by calling 1-800-445-1822
