A second full-time physician will come on board in September to work at both the clinic and Rainy River Health Centre's emergency department.
Jack Elliott of the Rainy River Health Care Committee says the hiring of Dr. Joe Ennett doesn't mean an end to locums.
Doctors from outside the region are now providing emergency room coverage until September.
Ennett, who flies his own plane, is among those now providing that coverage, flying in from his home in Stratford.
