The word “Kawartha” was given to this area by the Mississauga First Nations people meaning “bright waters and happy lands.” It’s the perfect metaphor for this medical practice opportunity, rich with possibility. It’s a world apart from city congestion and crime rates.
In fact, the Kawarthas boast the best of all worlds. The region is a Mecca for recreation, sports, arts and culture, and diverse dining opportunities. The community is nestled in nature, yet urban centres such as Peterborough and Toronto are within easy reach.
But don’t mistake the idea that choosing to settle in tranquility means “settling” for a sleepy medical career. For the practising physician, nurse practitioner, or healthcare professional, the Kawarthas promise a vibrant future.
