Another new doctor with local ties is set to practice in Belleville.
The city announced the signing of Dr. Graham Lloyd into the Belleville Doctor Recruitment Program on Monday.
Dr. Lloyd is an Emergency Medicine Physician whose considerable skills will complement the hard-working Emergency Medicine team at Quinte Health.
“Dr. Lloyd will be a fantastic addition to the hard working Emergency Medicine team at Quinte Health – Belleville General. His skills and experience will help local residents when they need it most and will help fill a considerable need in the health care services locally,” stated outgoing Mayor Neil Ellis.
“Council is very pleased that we have been able to partner with Quinte Health to bring Dr. Lloyd to our community and we know he will provide exceptional care to his patients.”
President and CEO of Quinte Health Stacey Daub stated Dr. Lloyd brings a strong commitment to compassionate and skilled care to a vital piece of the hospital.
“Having grown up in Stirling, returning to the area to practise medicine and raise our family is an exciting next chapter for us. We look forward to putting down roots and contributing to the community,” stated Dr. Lloyd.
“I also look forward to helping support physician recruitment in the region and contribute to grassroots efforts that encourage physicians with local ties to return and build their careers in the Quinte region.”
