The province says that for the first time in nearly a decade, Kings County’s doctor complement is full.
Two new family physicians have been recruited to Kings County. Dr. Penny Thomson started this week at the Montague Health Centre and Dr. Craig Malone will begin his new role this July in Souris after completing his final residency rotation.
Health PEI will be contacting Kings County residents of who are on the Provincial Patient Registry – as well as former patients of doctors David Hambly and Adriana Verdejo – to assign them to the new full-time physicians in the coming months.
On top of her family practice, Dr. Thomson will also be working in the emergency department at Kings County Memorial Hospital. Dr. Malone will also provide in-patient care at Souris Hospital.
