This is a fantastic small town practice, in a vibrant community in the beautiful Annapolis Valley. The clinic is seeking a family physician to replace the existing family physician who is retiring. There are currently two family practice nurses who provide support with vaccines, paps etc., as well as a nurse practitioner in the space. Located in the charming community of Hantsport, the incoming physician would take over a well-managed roster of approximately 1300 patients, the majority of whom are over 65. There is a dedicated office admin in this space as well. The clinic is owned by a pharmacy, and overhead is approximately $3500 a month. The incoming physician also will have the opportunity to participate in the after-hours clinic rotation at the West Hants Access Clinic (which can be part of their LFM contract). This clinic is managed by Nova Scotia Health with a dedicated Health Services Lead. This clinic could accommodate two physicians if there was an interest.
