Tips to assist K-W residents in finding a family physician.

1. Grand River Hospital provides a hotline updated regularly with the names of physicians in the K-W area who have informed the hospital that they are accepting new patients. The hotline number is (519) 749-4300, ext. 2517.
2. The Kitchener Chamber of Commerce (at (519) 576-5000) maintains a list of persons requiring family doctors. On the arrival of a new family physician to the community, the list of names is provided to the physician.
3. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (the licensing body for physicians in Ontario) provides detailed information regarding all physicians. The College website: www.cpso.on.ca includes a "Search" function to find information regarding a particular physician or to find any physician within a specified location in Ontario who is accepting new patients. The College can also be reached by telephone at 1-800-268-7096

SMOKING

As a health care provider that wishes to promote healthy living, and minimize our community's exposure to the harmful effects of second hand smoke, Grand River Hospital recently instituted a new smoking policy that restricts smoking to designated areas. Smoking kiosks and designated areas are clearly indicated at all Grand River Hospital sites. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in using the designated kiosk to smoke , and in helping to make our hospital a healthier place.
