The Town of Halton Hills has been designated as an underserved area for family physicians by the Ministry of Health; many of our local residents do not have access to a family doctor. There are a number of programs that are administered by the Ministry of Health to attract physicians to the community and the Town of Halton Hills is very supportive of these actions.

The Town of Halton Hills is pleased to announce that Dr. Amin has established a family practice in Halton Hills (Georgetown). Dr. Amin took advantage of the financial incentives offered through the Physician Recruitment Program which is designed to attract new family doctors. Mayor Rick Bonnette recently welcomed Dr. Amin to the community and presented to her a cheque which will assist the Doctor in setting up her new office.

Mayor Bonnette stated “As Halton Hills continues to grow it is critical for our community to attract and keep our family physicians, this program will help to bring new doctors to Halton Hills. This is just another example of our proactive approach to our community’s health”.

Dr. Amin is currently accepting new patients to her practice located at 99 Sinclair Avenue, Georgetown she may be reached at 289-428-1014. She also assists with patient care at the South Georgetown Medical Clinic.

Councillor Mike O’Leary a member of the Economic Development Committee that endorsed the program said “This is especially good news for patients in Halton Hills if we are to attract new doctors. Currently some of our family physicians in Halton Hills have practices with almost 3,000 patients which puts a strain on our doctors and their resources”.
