4 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, October 28, 2010 Thank You Georgetown for your generous endorsement on Election Day I look forward to representing your interests at Regional and Local Council for the next 4 years. I will continue writing my blog about local topics and invite you to participate in the on-line discussion. Hospital gets new urologist Georgetown Hospital has a new urologist. Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) has recruited Dr. Kevin Kwan to provide specialized urological care and surgery at both Georgetown and Milton District Hospitals. He's the sole provider of urology services at both hospitals. The newly created joint position provides both hospitals with enhanced urology coverage. Kwan joined HHS in August and recently opened an office in Milton. Kwan earned his medical degree from the University of Western Ontario in 2005 and recently graduated from McMaster University's five-year Urology Residency Program. He's certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and is also Clinical Associate Professor for Urology at McMaster University where he teaches current medical residents. Kwan has expertise in providing a full range of urological care and surgeries including minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures to treat prostate, bladder and kidney cancer and perform reconstructive kidney surgery. "I have had significant exposure to laparoscopy in addition to the open surgical and urinary stone cases. I also have a special interest in advanced laparoscopic oncology," said Kwan. "MDH and GH have so much potential. I look forward to growing my practice and offering a wider range of more advanced urological procedures." Kwan will be providing on-call coverage and holding urology clinics at both hospitals and splitting his operating room time DR. KEVIN KWAN between the two. Born and raised in Toronto, Kwan is excited to be setting up practice in Halton. The location is close to both family and friends and in close proximity to McMaster University where he can continue to train professionally and keep up to date with medical advances in the field. "Good communication is my number one priority. I try to help patients understand the nature of their disease and their treatment options," said Kwan. "The thought of surgery is daunting for most people. I want my patients to be completely comfortable with their treatment plan so they can be an active participant in their recovery." "In addition to his enthusiasm, Dr. Kwan brings a great skill set which will help enhance and expand our hospital's urology and surgical programs," said Dr. Don Trant, Georgetown Hospital Physician Program leader, Family Medicine.
