Deep River and District Health (DRDH) is pleased to announce that two local family physicians, Dr. Ceponis and Dr. McVey, will be relocating their practices to our new Primary Care Building when it opens later this summer.
This move reflects DRDH’s commitment to improving access and coordination of care by bringing more health services together in one convenient location. Housing multiple primary care providers on one campus will create a more seamless care experience, encourage closer collaboration between providers, and make it easier for patients to access the services they rely on most.
“Welcoming the practices of these two dedicated local physicians to our health campus is a meaningful step in improving access to care for patients in our region,” said Janna Hotson, President and CEO of DRDH. “Patients will benefit from less travel between services, enhanced teamwork among healthcare providers, and a purpose-built space designed to support their health and well-being.”
In addition to the incoming family medicine practices, the new Primary Care Building will also host the North Renfrew Family Health Team and DRDH’s outpatient and ambulatory programs, including telemedicine, speech therapy, diabetes education, and more. Together, these services will form a central hub for primary and preventive care in the community.
To strengthen care integration, DRDH expanded the original building design to accommodate more family physicians and health services under one roof—an investment that underscores our commitment to creating a stronger, more connected health campus.
The independent practices of Dr. Ceponis and Dr. McVey are expected to transition to the new facility in September. DRDH looks forward to officially welcoming them to the campus and to building a future of more collaborative, patient-centered primary care.
