HINTON WELCOMES A NEW PHYSICAN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hinton Welcomes Another New Physician to Local Medical Team

HINTON, AB – July 28, 2025 — The Hinton Healthcare Foundation (HHF) is pleased to announce another significant boost for local healthcare: one more physician has been successfully recruited and is expected to begin practicing in Hinton by the end of the year. This physician will provide both family medicine and emergency care, thereby helping to strengthen access to primary care and hospital services for residents.

This newest recruitment is the result of continued collaboration between the Attraction and Retention Committee of Hinton (ARCH), local medical staff, Alberta Health Services, RhPAP, the Town of Hinton, and the HHF. Together, these partners remain dedicated to tackling rural healthcare challenges through proactive, community-driven solutions.

“This is another important milestone in our long-term commitment to healthcare in Hinton,” said Fiona Murray-Galbraith, ARCH Chair and HHF Board Member. “We’re thrilled to welcome another physician, and we will keep working to build a supportive and connected environment for all healthcare professionals.”

So far in 2025, inquiries, interviews, and site visits from interested physicians have increased steadily, thanks to expanded marketing and promotion efforts by ARCH and the Town of Hinton. While not every conversation leads to a new hire, each interaction helps raise Hinton’s profile as a welcoming and supportive place to live and practice medicine.

The HHF is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organization committed to enhancing healthcare access and services in Hinton. To learn more or to make a donation, please visit www.hintonhealthcare.ca.
