A new family physician to serve Kinmount, Haliburton County, Trent Lakes & Kawartha Lakes
December 13, 2024 - County of Haliburton, ON
The Kinmount District Health Services Foundation (KDHSF), along with Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI), Haliburton County and Peterborough County (Trent Lakes) is pleased to announce that a new family physician will be joining the healthcare team at the Kinmount and District Health Centre (KDHC).
The new physician grew up in Eastern Ontario and is returning from the U.S., where she has practiced medicine for several years. The new physician plans to join Dr. Ponraja in seeing patients at the KDHC starting in early February 2025. She notes that she is looking forward to returning to Canada and to serving patients from the region at the Kinmount District Health Centre.
“On behalf of the County of Haliburton, I want to extend a sincere welcome to [the new physician] and express my enthusiasm that she has chosen this region to work as a family physician,” said Haliburton County Warden Dave Burton. “Thanks to the hard work of the physician recruitment team, residents of Haliburton County and surrounding communities will gain better access to local health care.”
KDHSF appreciates the assistance of the three local family doctor recruiters: Lori Richey (Peterborough County), Wendy Welch (Haliburton County) and Cindy Snider (City of Kawartha Lakes).
