Southwest Middlesex Health Centre
All your health care needs in
one convenient place.
This is not a walk-in clinic.
If you have an emergency, please call 911.
Please Help Southwest Middlesex Health Centre Keep the Lights On!
When the power goes out, our staff, doctors and residents have to cancel appointments. This means that patients have to be rescheduled, delaying their primary care.
With a generator, we will be able to power our computers, lights and medical equipment. Patients will not experience a delay in their medical care, and services will continue as normal.
Please visit https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/southwest-middlesex-health-centre/campaign/keep-the-lights-on/ to help us reach this goal.

Meet Our Doctors
Interested in Joining Our Team?
Southwest Middlesex Health Centre offers our staff and physicians a great family-oriented work-life balance. We provide competitive wages, a full benefits package, a registered pension plan and annual professional development opportunities.
We do not have any current openings, but please check back often to see future opportunities.
Family Medicine Teaching Site
Thank you very much for allowing residents to be part of your care at SMHC. You are actively involved in the education of tomorrow’s family physicians. Our residents are doctors who have graduated from medical school and are now training to be specialists in family medicine.
During their residency, our doctors acquire knowledge and skills, care for patients, and contribute to the healthcare system, while preparing for their certification exams and independent practice. Depending on the day, residents can juggle many roles, such as student, teacher and employee. A Family Medicine training residency leads to certification as a family physician by the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).
The CFPC is the professional organization responsible for establishing standards for the training, certifications and lifelong education of family physicians and for advocating on behalf of the specialty of family medicine, family physicians and their patients. The CFPC accredits postgraduate family medicine training in Canada’s medical schools.
What Can You Expect of a Resident?
Though a resident is not licensed to practice as an independent physician they will abide by all the principles of professionalism and ethical practice that you expect from your own family physician. They will introduce themselves as a resident. They should always wear their identification, and if it isn’t visible, please ask them for it.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate in sharing them with your physician or nurse today.
