Family Physician

Job Description

The Northeast Medical Clinic operates as a primary healthcare group practice where physicians provide services for approximately 3,500 people within the community and surrounding area. The Town of Tisdale partnered with the Saskatchewan Health Authority in the development of the new community health complex. This facility encompasses the hospital, long-term care, 24/7 emergency services and the new medical clinic. The facility also houses community health services, therapies, public health, community wellness and much more. The relocation of these services to the Healthplex improves client access to physicians, mental health and addiction services, acute care, home care and long term care staff.

Tisdale has all the services of a city, but maintains its small town feel and atmosphere. It is located in the heart of one of the richest agricultural areas of the province. Recreational facilities, health care, schooling, municipal services, shopping and friendly people make Tisdale a great place to live and raise a family. Citizens see a high retained value in their homes and the community per capita has outgrown the competition in the previous decade, showing that Tisdale is becoming the destination of choice for people looking to locate in the northeast.
