Halton Physician Appreciation Week "We have a first-rate team of specialists, family doctors and hospitalists at HHS. We are very fortunate to be able to attract some of the most talented doctors in the province. The influx of these new doctors and specialists and the rapidly evolving medical communities in Georgetown, Milton and Oakville enables us to grow with our populations." - Dr. Lorne Martin, HHS Chief of Staff Our physicians make a tremendous contribution to the health and well-being of our communities. May 20th to 23rd is Physician Appreciation Week in Halton. At Halton Healthcare Services, we would like to take this opportunity to recognize the efforts of all our Physicians and pay tribute to their dedication to quality care. A Special Thanks to You! Thank you to all of our donors for supporting our community hospital. OTMH is fortunate to have talented and dedicated healthcare professionals, but they couldn't do their jobs to the highest standard without the support of our donors. Government funding does not cover equipment purchases for hospitals, and the majority of medical equipment at OTMH is provided by you, the members of our community. With your support OTMH can continue to be one of the most innovative community hospitals in Ontario. Thank you ­ for the health of our community. Think you know nursing? Take a closer look.
