Two new doctors to the Walkerton area will help put a dent in the number of orphaned patients at the Brockton and Area Family Health Organization (FHO).
Dr. Kyle Scheurman and Dr. Ellen Lorenzen are coming to the area in the fall of this year and will take on some of the patients formerly seen by Dr. Gary Bajurny and Dr. Saly Mekhael, but officials with the FHO said Tuesday they expect approximately 1,000 patients to still be without a primary care physician and won t be accepting new patients.
