A new family doctor is setting up practice in Wallaceburg.
Dr. Andrew Su is joining the Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres team part time at the Wallaceburg site.
Dr. Su is currently working as an internal medicine hospitalist fellow in Toronto and is expected to graduate next month.
“I am excited that I will be joining Chatham-Kent mid-August in full capacity as a physician, working at both CKCHC’s Wallaceburg site as well as at CKHA as a hospitalist” commented Dr. Su. “A personal role model of mine, Dr Norman Bethune, summarizes my passion as a physician: ‘Medicine, as we are practicing it, is a luxury trade. We are selling bread at the price of jewels… Let us take the profit, the private economic profit, out of medicine, and purify our profession of rapacious individualism. Let us say to the people not, how much have you got, but, how best can we serve you?”
“We are honoured that Dr. Su chose the CHC to begin his career in family practice,” said Mallory Nowakowski, Manager of Clinical and Client Services. “Dr. Andrew Su brings extraordinary talent to the CKCHC, which is a great compliment to the remarkable team we already have in place. We want to thank Dr. Su for choosing the CHC and enabling us to further expand access to primary care and assist in improving the health and wellbeing of the community.”
Dr. Su will not be accepting new patients at this time.
