Hanover Program

TRAINING SITE/PRACTICE DESCRIPTION Hanover

The Town of Hanover (http://www.hanover.ca), population 7000, is located in the heart of the spectacular Georgian Lakelands on the boundary of Bruce and Grey Counties. Hanover is a short drive on excellent roads to the Lake Huron shoreline (famous for its miles of natural, sand beaches and summer amusements), and a 40-minute drive to Owen Sound. Hanover is a great place to live, work and play. In addition to being convenient to schools, recreation facilities, playgrounds, parks and shopping, our pleasant neighbourhoods are an excellent place to raise a family. Hanover's location offers its residents a large variety of interesting and exciting recreational opportunities. The Saugeen River runs through Hanover and offers some of the best canoeing and fishing in the province.

The Hanover Medical Clinic is a family health organization with a group family practice. It is located across the street from Hanover and District Hospital (http://hanoverhospital.on.ca), a 24-bed hospital with an annual emergency room volume around 15,000. It is primarily staffed by local family physicians and a local general surgeon and radiologists. It has a number of visiting specialists.
