Lemay told the crowd of about 70 people that Horizon has signed a contract with a new physician to work at the Port Elgin and Region Health Centre starting sometime in early 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1047\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4117-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47628\" style=\"width:598px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4117-2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4117-2-600x491.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4117-2-768x628.jpeg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Richard Lemay, Horizon&#8217;s director of primary health care for Zone 1, after a public meeting in Port Elgin on July 10, 2024. Photo: Erica Butler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clinic lost its full time nurse practitioner this spring, and has been operating with an NP working just two days a week. That NP will wrap up their work in Port Elgin on August 31 this year, leaving a gap with no primary care provider based out of the clinic for several months. Lemay says Horizon is working to fill the gap, and is still not sure how long it will be, because it\u2019s not yet clear exactly when the new physician will start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe plan is for that person to probably be here, early 2025, after Christmas,\u201d said Lemay. \u201cWe can&#8217;t share any more details right now because he has to share information with his patients right now to inform them first. But probably this fall, we&#8217;ll be able to tell you exactly when the person is going to start. And we&#8217;ll keep you informed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Q&amp;A session of the meeting, one resident asked about the longevity of the contract for the physician, which prompted Dr. Ravneet Comstock, a Horizon family doctor and lead for primary care in all zones, to weigh in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think we&#8217;re very, very, extremely hopeful that this particular family is coming home, and making this home,\u201d said Comstock. \u201cSo I think we&#8217;re excited to have somebody who&#8217;s willing to talk about no end\u2026 This was not a contract that has an end date.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemay said that recruitment will continue for a nurse practitioner to join the new doctor at the clinic, and Horizon has also added a new social worker position, based on recent data released by the New Brunswick Health Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the meeting, CHMA asked Lemay about the current state of staffing at the new Tantramar Primary Health Care Clinic, operating in the building across the parking lot from the Sackville Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemay said there are currently two doctors working part-time at the clinic, as well as a nurse practitioner who will move to full-time at the beginning of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the ultimate goal for staffing the clinic will evolve according to needs, but right now, he\u2019s looking to hire at least three full-time primary care providers, either doctors or nurse practitioners. \u201cAnd from there with all the allied health professionals we&#8217;ll be adding they&#8217;ll take care of the population also,\u201d said Lemay. Not all patients need to see a physician or NP for each visit, said Lemay. \u201cSome need to see an RT [respiratory therapist], a dietitian, a social worker. So that will affect how many providers we would need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he\u2019s in the process of posting for four allied health positions to be based out of the Tantramar clinic, a full time pharmacist, a full time social worker, a full time dietitian, and a half-time respiratory therapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemay said approximately 3,000 to 4,000 patients would have their \u2018patient medical home\u2019 at the Tantramar clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemay said both the Port Elgin and Region Health Centre and the newer Tantramar Primary Care Clinic are similar operations, but serving different geographical areas. One key difference is in community representation. The Port Elgin health centre has a community advisory committee formally attached to the clinic, There\u2019s no such formal committee in place yet for the Tantramar clinic, but Lemay says the Rural Health Action Group fills that role. \u201cHow will that evolve? Will that become maybe a committee, may be more connected with the site? I don&#8217;t know,\u201d said Lemay. \u201cBut for now it\u2019s the Rural Health Action Group that has that voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018It helps everybody\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strait Shores mayor Jason Stokes was at the meeting Wednesday and says he was ecstatic about the news of the new doctor. Stokes said that with ongoing recruitment for a nurse practitioner, he has high hopes the Port Elgin clinic \u201cwill actually be bigger than it was before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4120-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47627\" style=\"width:632px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4120-2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4120-2-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4120-2-768x576.jpeg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Strait Shores Mayor Jason Stokes says he was &#8220;ecstatic&#8221; to hear the news of a physician hire for the Port Elgin and Region Health Centre.

A new doctor for Port Elgin could have positive effects on waitlists in Tantramar and Moncton he says. \u201cIn the same way if Tantramar clinic expands, it helps us and Moncton,\u201d says Stokes. \u201cReally when the rural clinics expand, it helps everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1105\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4123-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47626\" style=\"width:574px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4123-2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4123-2-600x518.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_4123-2-768x663.jpeg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Memramcook-Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton outside the Port Elgin and Region Health Care Centre, located in the same building as the Port Elgin Regional School.
