The Deep River and District Hospital (DRDH) has welcomed a new physician to the community. Doctor Robert Suttie has successfully been recruited to work in the DRDH Emergency Department.
Doctor Suttie started working at the hospital in Deep River in early July. He resides in Ottawa, and completed his medical training through the University of Ottawa as well as Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.
The Deep River and District Hospital formed a medical recruitment team last year, which primarily looks at physician recruitment and retention for the entire North
Renfrew Health Campus – including the Hospital, Four Seasons Lodge, and Family Health Team. The municipalities of Laurentian Hills, Deep River, and Head, Clara & Maria recognize that recruiting and retaining physicians is crucial to the physical and economic health of our communities.
DRDH President and CEO, Richard Bedard, says Doctor Suttie will be a great addition
to the care team and they look forward to him joining our medical staff.
Chief of Staff Doctor Kipp says they’re excited to have Doctor Suttie in a full-time position in the Emergency Department.
The Medical Recruitment Team remains active with recruitment efforts within the Family Health Team, as well as additional roles in the Emergency Department, and future planning.
