Local Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lynn Noseworthy has announced her plans to retire from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPRDHU) this summer.
Since joining HKPRDHU almost 16 years ago, Dr. Noseworthy has guided the Health Unit as it implemented programs and services geared to improve the health of residents living in Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and the City of Kawartha Lakes.
Dr. Noseworthy says “As a physician, I have always believed that public health programs and services are key to keeping people healthy. Whether we help someone quit smoking, immunize them against disease or inspect the restaurants were they eat, public health is working to protect people, so they do not get ill”
Dr. Noseworthy says her departure will be made easier knowing that a recruitment committee is committed to finding someone who is professional, passionate and thoughtful about the work of public health in our community.
