Doctors to be Recognized

The Fort Frances Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee is setting aside a week for the local community to show its appreciation to local doctors.

The week of May 31 is being designated Physicians Appreciation Week.

Chair and Fort Frances councillor Andrew Hallikas says it is long overdue.

"There are eleven doctors in town," says Hallikas, "and three of them are in their 70's and 80's. They're all working awful hard to make sure we get the appropriate health care that we need."

Part of the week will include a banquet at the Memorial Sports Centre.
