We are pleased to share an important update regarding primary care services. Effective April 1st, 2026 Dr. Taylor Wilkins will be joining our Family Health Organization (FHO). Dr. Wilkins will be assuming the care of Dr. Mark Wilkins' former patients, who have recently been supported by Dr. Gushe, Dr. Williams, Dr. Redhead and Natalie Denis NP, while we worked to recruit new physicians.
If you were a former patient of Dr. Mark Wilkins, and are interested in becoming a patient of Dr. Taylor Wilkins, it is important that you sign a new Patient Enrolment roster form by September 8th, 2026. This can be done in person at a scheduled appointment or by contacting our office at (705) 744-6000. If this form is not completed by the deadline, you will no longer be registered as a patient of the Mattawa FHO. If you are now rostered to a physician or nurse practitioner outside of the Mattawa FHO, we recommend that you remain with your current provider.
Please note that Dr. Taylor Wilkins is not currently accepting new patients. If you do not have a primary care provider, we remind the community of the importance of registering with Health Care Connect, as this is how individuals are notified when a physician is accepting new patients. You also have to be registered with Health Care Connect to access the Unattached Patient Clinic offered by the Mattawa Family Health Team.
We are grateful for your patience during this transition period and extend our sincere thanks to the providers who have ensured continuity of care over the past several years. We are confident that Dr. Taylor Wilkins will be a strong addition to our team and will provide her patients with high-quality, patient-centered care.
If you have any questions regarding this transition please feel free to contact our office at 705-744-6000.
