New leader of Northumberland health team shares her experience and perspective

In the next two years, potentially 25,000 people living in Northumberland County could be without a doctor or some other form of primary care. That is a warning my guest delivered during this interview. Andrea Groff, Executive lead for the Ontario Health Team - Northumberland (OHT-N), says one-quarter of Ontarians will not have access to primary care by 2026. She is basing this on predictions from the Ontario College of Family Physicians. Groff was recently hired as the new lead for the health team. This body coordinates healthcare services across the county, from hospitals to clinics and everything in between. You will learn about her challenges as she takes on this role.
