HOSPITALIST LOCUMS in MUSKOKA

Huntsville District Memorial Hospital in Muskoka requires Hospitalist Locums to support both Acute Care patients and ALC patients. It's also a great way to explore future long-term opportunities.

Huntsville District Memorial Hospital is a 48-bed hospital serving 20,000 local residents and 85,000 seasonal residents. Our tourist population is much larger in the summer when people take advantage of our lakes and rivers or visit the world-renowned Algonquin Provincial Park.
