“A smaller community hospital allows for stronger team cohesion and work environment, and this is absolutely the case at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre,” he adds.

Dr. Small received her medical education at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the University of Calgary, completing GIM and intensive care unit (ICU) fellowships in Calgary. A critical care physician, Dr. Small will be applying her expertise in the hospital’s ICU.

“I have completed several rotations in Red Deer and could immediately tell that Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre would be a good fit for me,” she says. “The city is the perfect size; big enough to have all the amenities with lots of outdoor activities, but small enough to feel like a tight-knit community.”

AHS says it values the work physicians and health care teams to every day.

“We remain committed to supporting recruitment and retention efforts to ensure we are there for our patients and families when they need us the most,” AHS says in a statement.

AHS adds that it works with Attraction and Retention (A&R) Committees to provide local support for physician recruitment, working collaboratively with municipal stakeholders to facilitate physicians to rural communities.
