At the GHC, physicians are not bogged down by trying to run a business, they\u2019re devoting all of their time to what matters most: the patient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GHC is home to a top-notch, ever-growing medical team, including primary- and specialty-care physicians, nurse practitioners, allied-health professionals and more than 100 nurses. It eschews the quantity-based \u201cfee for service\u201d model for doctors, operating instead with a unique quality-driven blend of stipend- and billing-based payments. And its expansive facilities offer an array of comprehensive services, from diagnostic imaging and cardiology testing to physiotherapy, audiology and a new integrated electronic medical-records system. The result is multidisciplinary end-to-end care for patients and invaluable administrative support and resources for doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe GHC provides [us] with an office, examination rooms, a nurse, clerical staff and all of the equipment needed to run a modern practice without any up-front costs,\u201d says Dr. Jonathan Bishop, who moved his family to Sault Ste. Marie 10 years ago. \u201cThe opportunity to join the GHC was one of the biggest selling points for me. It\u2019s a unique organization that doesn\u2019t fit any of the standard care models.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1237016\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-1237016 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAC-SSM-GHC-JBISHOP-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo supplied by Dr. Jonathan Bishop, who moved his family to Sault Ste.

I\u2019m not working in a silo,\u201d says Dr. Stewart, and Dr. Bishop concurs. \u201cPracticing in the same building as numerous other family physicians and specialists allows for easily accessible discussions, either by phone or in-person, to provide optimal care for patients,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1237017\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-1237017 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAC-SSM-GHC-AWEBB-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo supplied by Dr. Allison Webb, who moved to \u201cthe Soo\u201d in 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Just as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing for the doctors?
