This is an exciting full time opportunity for an experienced Nurse Practitioner to work full scope of practice in a
new model of primary care delivery being piloted by the MOHLTC in Muskoka. The Nurse Practitioner will work

integrated with CCFHT through a shared EMR, and will have access to the FHTs health care disciplines to serve the

flexible clinic hours.
