About Country Roads Community Health Centre

Country Roads Community Health Centre is a not-for-profit organization funded by Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health. Since 1988, we’ve provided equitable, client-centred care to rural communities in Eastern Ontario.

Our interdisciplinary team offers services such as primary care, chronic disease management, health promotion, system navigation, and outreach—working with community partners to meet local needs and support healthier communities.

The Opportunity

Country Roads Community Health Centre (CRCHC) is seeking a Family Physician to join our interdisciplinary primary care team serving the rural communities of Rideau Lakes, Westport, Leeds and Thousand Islands, and surrounding areas.

At CRCHC, physicians have the opportunity to focus on what matters most: providing comprehensive, relationship-based care to patients while working as part of a collaborative team. As a Community Health Centre, we deliver care through an integrated, multidisciplinary model that brings together physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, community health workers, and health promoters to address the full spectrum of an individual's health and wellbeing. This is an opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients while helping shape innovative approaches to rural health care delivery.
