Doctor There could be 3600 residents in North Bay who get a family doctor within the next two years.

The Northern Shores Medical Clinic will be opening its doors soon and they are now accepting applications for patients.

Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli says this is good news for the 10-12,000 people who are in need of a family physician. Fedeli says these doctors could have gone anywhere but they chose North Bay.

He says that shows how much of a need there is in the area for doctors. Fedeli says there will be three family doctors working at this clinic and they are originally from the North Bay area.

You can fill out an application online or by picking one up at City Hall.

The North Bay Regional Health Centre and the City are each contributing $25,000 dollars for start-up costs.
