Hastings County has announced the signing of a new doctor.
Dr. Ramsey Smith has been announced as the 26th doctor to sign through Hastings County’s Family Physician Recruitment Program to practise family medicine in the region.
“We are thrilled that Dr. Smith has chosen to practise family medicine in Hastings County,” Warden Bob Mullin said in a release.
“He will be joining the Central Hastings Family Health Team in December and practising in the Tri-Area Medical Centre in Madoc. There, he will take over the patient roster of Dr. Dullege, who is retiring.”
Dr. Smith is a recent graduate of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2023 and completed his Family Medicine Residency at Queen’s Medical School in May 2025.
“I’m excited to be joining the Central Hastings Family Health Team to practise rural family medicine in Madoc starting this December,” Dr. Smith stated in the release.
“I look forward to establishing myself in the community and contributing to local healthcare. With both a rural upbringing and medical experience, I understand the importance of strong, community-focused care and am eager to bring that commitment to my work here.”
Warden Mullin also thanked Dr. Suzanne Dullege for her work and congratulated her on her retirement.
“We would like to thank Dr. Dullege for supporting our residents for the past 15 years and wish her well on her retirement,” said Warden Mullin. “We are fortunate to be able to have Dr. Smith take over the care of her patients.”
