Welland’s newest doctor recruited under the city’s physician recruitment incentive program is currently accepting new patients.
In a city council information package on the municipality’s website, Lina DeChellis, director of economic development and strategic initiatives, said the city has attracted 14 physicians through the program.
Launched in 2023, the $1-million program allots $100,000 to physicians who moved to the Rose City to either start or take over a practice.
Doctors in the program must commit to staying in Welland for at least five years.
Last November, city councillors approved adding another $1 million to the program.
DeChellis said Dr. Ayesha Ahmed is practising at Intrepid Medical Centre, 905 Niagara St., and is accepting new patients.
