Grey Bruce Health Services is ready to welcome a new physician to the fold.
Doctor Jay Adlington is an orthopaedic surgeon who’ll set up his office at the Owen Sound hospital.
President and CEO Maureen Solecki says his first day on call will be today.
She says DoctorAdlington will be replacing an orthopaedic surgeon who left last year so this brings them back up to a full complement.
Solecki says its good news for a department dealing with the high number of hip and knee replacements throughout Grey Bruce.
Doctor Adlington arrives with his wife, Doctor Stephanie Cote, who’s a dermatologist.
Doctor Cote will be working at the Centre for Personal Enhancement in Owen Sound but Solecki says its a great addition to the city’s physicians.
The couple moved to the region from Vancouver.
