Three new family physicians have established a group practice in Penetanguishene.

Dr. Amanda Murdoch, Dr. Julie Caron and Dr. Adrian Stacy have joined forces to open at the Village Clinic, within the Georgian Village complex, at 101 Thompson’s Road.

The new practice hopes to reduce the number of orphaned patients in the region, while offering person-centered focused care.

“We really mesh well in terms of what we do in our practice, in our ethics, and our shared interest in serving various parts of the community,” said Dr. Stacy. “When we met, everything seemed to click and we decided to go into practice together. It all happened very quickly and here we are.”

Stacy is originally from Hamilton, but his family has always had a connection to North Simcoe as cottagers. He, his wife Elise, and their two daughters made the move to Tiny Township in early 2020.

Stacy got his medical degree from the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg and completed a family medicine residency at Western University in London. He started his career as a staff physician in student health services at Western, while working periodically at Georgian Bay General Hospital in Midland.

Dr. Murdoch is also originally from Hamilton. She received her medical degree from Queen’s University in Kingston and completed a family medicine residency in Peterborough. Murdoch started her career in Sioux Lookout before moving to Penetanguishene with her husband Jonathan.

“We will take a person-centred, holistic, trauma informed approach to care,” said Murdoch. “We are respectful of patients as experts on their own bodies. And, as a group, we make a daily commitment to be actively anti-racist and community minded.”

Dr. Julie Caron is originally from Windsor. She attended the University of Toronto for her medical degree and residency training. While in Toronto, she founded the Rotary Club of Toronto Skyline and the Canadian World Education Foundation in Tanzania. She continues to be involved in advocating for the health and wellbeing of underserved populations, including refugees, undocumented migrants, Indigenous communities, and people faced with homelessness and transient housing.
