This week, we’re proud to celebrate Resident Doctors Appreciation Week at DRDH! 🩺

We’re so grateful to have incredible resident physicians like Dr. Sypes and Dr. Ritchie, pictured here, training with us here in Deep River this week. Whether they’re providing care in the Emergency Department, supporting our Medical Inpatient Unit, or learning about rural medicine, their dedication and compassion make a meaningful impact across our organization every single day.

We also love seeing the connections built beyond the clinical setting - like this recent photo of residents and physicians enjoying a bowling night together! These fun experiences are part of what makes training in a rural community so special.

Thank you to all the residents who choose DRDH to complete rural or emergency medicine blocks as part of your residency journey. We’re honoured to be part of your training and proud to support the next generation of physicians. If you’re interested in coordinating a future block with us, we’d love to connect — reach out to learn more about training opportunities in Deep River.

Please join us in recognizing our resident doctors for the meaningful contributions they make to our patients, our team, and our community. 🩵
