A town in eastern Ontario is feeling the doctor shortage, even though doctors who move there can receive generous bonus packages of up to $281,000.
Marmora, Ont., which is just north of Belleville, offers doctors a bonus of $100,000 if they agree to move there for five years. Hastings County also offers a $100,000 bonus over five years and the provincial will give doctors another $81,000 over four years in additional funding if they move to the area.
