Doctors who come to the area are recognized each year during an event, and this year it was held virtually.
GBHS also welcomed two new and three returning Family Medicine Residents from McMaster University who will complete two years of training with the Owen Sound Family Health Team, with specialty rotations across the GBHS family of hospitals.
