"Tisdale is my hometown, and we chose to come back here (from Vancouver and Calgary) to raise our family and to farm. When you have roots in a place (family, friends, livelihood, history), I think it is natural to want the best for the community; part of that is the provision of healthcare.

To be entrusted with the privilege of providing healthcare to people in my community, possibly who I have known in the past or who have known my family, is gratifying and a privilege. I feel that being embedded and engaged in the community-its people, its needs, and its resources- enriches the quality of care that can be provided."
