Congratulations to Dr. Allan Morrison on joining the Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres following his retirement earlier this year.

We're grateful for your continued investment in the Chatham-Kent community and your ongoing commitment to improving access to care for local residents. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter!

The Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres (CKCHC) have expanded their primary care family once again. Dr. Allan Morrison joined the CKCHC family effective June 8, 2026, as a part-time physician at the Chatham and Walpole Island CHC sites.

Dr. Allan Morrison earned his MD from Ross University School of Medicine and has been practicing family medicine since January 2011, most recently working as family physician at the Blenheim site of the Chatham-Kent Family Health Team (CKFHT). He retired from the CKFHT in February 2026.

Dr. Allan Morrison states, “I was interested in working part-time after retiring from my full-time practice and have always enjoyed working with equity deserving populations, so joining CKCHC was a great opportunity to continue helping people achieve positive health outcomes and wellbeing.”

We had a great time at the SRPC Rural and Remote Medicine Conference connecting with medical learners and physicians from across the country!

It was especially exciting to see such strong representation from Chatham-Kent, and to celebrate Dr. Lindsey Sutherland on receiving the Rural Service Award—a true reflection of the incredible care happening in our community.

Recruitment is working — but the work isn’t done.

This week, we shared our latest Physician Recruitment & Retention Report with Council, outlining:
✔️ New physicians welcomed
✔️ Impact of municipal incentives
✔️ Current patient attachment numbers
✔️ What’s needed to meet future demand

As retirements approach and demand grows, continuing to recruit new physicians remains critical to protecting access and avoiding strain on existing providers.
