This year marks a milestone in Sunrise Health Region that will be hard to outdo. It is the 50th anniversary of the medical practice of family physician, Dr. Michael Bishop, in the community of Kamsack.
Dr. Bishop immigrated to Canada from England in 1965 to set up medical practice in Kamsack, Saskatchewan. In 2003, Dr. Bishop moved into the physician leadership role of Vice President of Medical Services and Senior Medical Officer of Sunrise Health Region.
President and CEO of Sunrise Health Region, Suann Laurent, credits Dr. Bishop with fostering positive connection of medical services and administration, and for setting the stage and foundation of the regional medical structure.
“Dr. Bishop is to be admired for many reasons and most notably, for his tireless dedication to his patients, his community, his profession, and our health region,” adds Laurent.
To celebrate, Sunrise Health Region and the Town of Kamsack will host a come-and-go coffee gathering on March 31, 2015 from 2:00-4:00pm in the cafeteria of the Kamsack & District Hospital. Everyone is welcome to attend with the opportunity to personally thank Dr. Bishop for his exceptional commitment to the community and health region.
