Dr. Brendan Flowers is partnering with the Maple Leaf Health Centre to open a new medical clinic in Cochrane.

Dr. Flowers says the clinic is currently being constructed next to the current Maple Leaf location in the Fireside community and is expected to open no later than the end of November.

"The great news is we already have two new physicians accepting patients, and we're advertising for more."

The clinic will be able to house five physicians, and Dr. Flowers is encouraging residents to help spread the word to physicians interested in relocating to Cochrane.

"Retention is essential, and having a physician move here that already knows someone or has a community would be perfect."

There's a full interview attached that talks about Dr. Flowers' plans, and how people can be added to the waitlist. He also encourages residents to reach out to doctors who may be interested in relocating to Cochrane.
