Belleville's Commitment to Health Care
"This initiative reflects our commitment to enhancing health care access for all Belleville residents," states Mayor Neil Ellis. Through this program, Ding pledges to open a clinical practice in the city upon obtaining his qualifications, marking a significant step towards bolstering the local health care system.
A Blueprint for Future Recruitment Efforts
The program provides substantial financial support, up to $150,000, to medical students willing to practice in Belleville, in exchange for a five-year service commitment. "This is among the most successful ventures of its kind in the province, funded through dividends from Elexicon Energy. So far, we've committed over $6 million to attract qualified health care providers," the city explains.
