The Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) and Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes are pleased to announce that Dr. Emma Kinsella will be joining the Community Health Centre team as of July 29, 2024.
Dr. Kinsella received her Doctor of Medicine from the National University of Ireland (2020) and completed her Family Medicine Residency at the University of Toronto in 2023. She has been providing locum services to two Community Health Centres in Toronto for the past year. Dr. Kinsella is pleased to now join the Kawartha Lakes Community Health Centre on a permanent full-time basis.
“Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes is very pleased to have Dr. Kinsella join our team”, says Melinda Jayne Gilmour, Director, Clinical Services. At this time, Dr. Kinsella will only be seeing current patients of the Community Health Centre and those already on our waitlist. Our waitlist is currently full; however, we will advertise when we are able to take more patients.”
“I am looking forward to providing care to the citizens of Kawartha Lakes where I have enjoyed many years at our family cottage. Having already practiced in a Community Health Care setting, the clinic and area will feel like home to me as I settle in”, states Dr. Kinsella.
Andrew Veale, KLHCI President, states that “KLHCI’s Board of Directors and Recruitment & Retention Coordinator are pleased with the recruitment of Dr. Kinsella. We are looking forward to having Dr. Kinsella in our community for many years to come”.
The KLHCI Board of Directors has representation from throughout the City of Kawartha Lakes. The board is interested in adding new members. Being a member of KLHCI’s Board of Directors is an excellent opportunity to volunteer and be part of this vital component of our community health care, the recruitment and retention of family doctors. Anyone wishing to be part of this community effort by either volunteering or donating financially to support the ongoing family doctor recruitment and retention programs are invited to contact Cindy Snider, Recruitment & Retention Coordinator at csnider@rmh.org or visit the KLHCI website at www.KawarthaLakesDoctors.org.
