The request was brought forward by <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/there-are-about-1700-people-without-a-family-doctor-in-huntsville-and-that-number-is-growing\/#comments\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Dr. Melanie Mar last July<\/span><\/a>. At the time, it was estimated that about 1,700 residents do not have a family physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mar told council many patients are not receiving preventative care or help to manage existing chronic illnesses and they\u2019re winding up sicker and seeking care at the hospital Emergency Room (ER), which is overwhelming ER doctors who are having to discharge patients who often wind up returning because they don\u2019t have a family doctor to guide them after discharge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clinic would be supported by the Town, community health care providers as well as Ontario Health. The library board has approved the use of the Annex for a clinic pending its review of the agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Town would be providing the space for free and fixing the parking lot at a cost not to exceed $60,000. The Town&#8217;s accessibility committee is also expected to inspect the premises to ensure they are fully accessible and with the aid of Ontario Health would cover all leasehold improvements and operational costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano said that if all goes smoothly, the clinic could be up and running as early as this December. <\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its last meeting of this term, Huntsville Council approved the establishment of a walk-in health clinic at the Huntsville Public Library Annex.
