New doctor joins Central Hastings Family Health Team

A new doctor has signed on to practice family medicine in Hastings County.

Dr. Ramsey Smith will join the Central Hastings Family Health Team in December and practice in Madoc. He will assume the patient roster of Dr. Sue Dullege, who will be retiring.

Dr. Smith says he is looking forward to practicing in the community.

“I look forward to establishing myself in the community and contributing to local healthcare. With both a rural upbringing and medical experience, I understand the importance of strong, community-focused care and am eager to bring that commitment to my work here,” he said.

He is a recent graduate from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and completed his residency at Queen’s Medical School.

Dr. Smith is the 26th physician signed to Hastings’ Family Physician Recruitment Program.
