IERHA - Family Physician

Located in central Canada, slightly north-east of the city of Winnipeg, and in the heart of Manitoba’s scenic lake country, the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (IERHA) covers an area of 61,000 km2. One of the largest health regions in the Province of Manitoba, IERHA extends east to the Ontario border, north to the 53rd parallel, west to the eastern shores of Lake Manitoba, and south to just past Winnipeg. The Region serves a population of approximately 133,800 residents, including 17 First Nations and 24 Metis communities representing almost 1/3 of the area’s population. The population grows extensively in the summer months with cottagers, campers and others who come to enjoy this ‘cottage country’ and its abundance of lakes, beaches, forests and other natural areas.

As a contract or fee-for-service practitioner, the Family Physician will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team in providing health care services to the Region, including inpatient care, clinic services, emergency department work and care in personal care homes in the surrounding communities. The Physicians will participate in the Region’s Nurse Managed Care initiative, as well as in the delivery of primary care and PCH services on a part-time/as-needed basis in Whitemouth, Manitoba. The Physician will maintain full-time Clinic hours and be available on site not less than four days per week.
