You’ll be part of an experienced and collegial group of physicians committed to excellence in patient-centered care, education, and innovation.

Brightshores Health System operates six hospitals across the Grey Bruce region, with its Level 2 regional referral centre located in the City of Owen Sound.

Our smaller rural hospitals in Lion’s Head, Markdale, Meaford, Southampton, and Wiarton provide essential inpatient, emergency, and ambulatory care services — ensuring integrated and accessible healthcare across the region.

Our team of six physicians with enhanced skills in palliative care provides comprehensive coverage across all sectors — hospitals, hospice, community, and long-term care. We offer home visits and 24/7 on-call support to patients in private residences, residential hospice, long-term care homes, and supportive housing environments.

Together, we support a monthly roster of 100–120 community-based patients. We also have strong academic ties with Western University and McMaster University
