This is the best summary I could come up with:

President and CEO of the Group Health Centre, Lil Silvano says the organization was established 60 years ago during a time when OHIP didn’t exist.

She says administrative and other supports of the centre’s unique set-up allow the 35 doctors and eight nurse practitioners to devote more of their time to patient care.

The centre has had to drop 3,000 patients over the past six years but is now facing the departure of even more doctors this spring either due to retirement or leaving the community.

Mayor Matthew Shoemaker defends the city’s investment over the past 22 years to keep up with recruitment as doctors seek to retire and the needs of an aging population grow.

Shoemaker says council will discuss a motion seeking to expand the scope of recruitment, not just to physicians, but to include other primary care providers like nurse practitioners

But Romano says he doesn’t think the problem is merely retirements outpacing recruitment, suggesting an expert panel of health care providers should be formed to come up with solutions.
