The Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres (CKCHC) have expanded their primary care family once again.
Dr. Andrew Su will join the CKCHC family effective August 15, 2022 as a part-time physician at the Wallaceburg CHC site.
CKCHC officials say Dr. Su completed high school at Riverside Secondary in Windsor, received his undergraduate degree at McGill University in Life Sciences, and completed Medical School at the Schulich School of Medicine at the Windsor Campus, and Family Medicine Training through Mount Sinai Hospital at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Su is currently working as an internal medicine/hospitalist fellow at the University Health Network/Toronto General Hospital Site with anticipated graduation mid-July 2022.
“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,” Dr. Su said in a media release.
“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?’.”
Mallory Nowakowski, manager of clinical and client services, said they are honoured that Dr. Su chose the CHC to begin his career in family practice.
“Dr. Andrew Su brings extraordinary talent to the CKCHC, which is a great compliment to the remarkable team we already have in place,” Nowakowski said in a media release.
“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.”
CKCHA officials say Dr. Su will not be accepting new clients at this time.
