Kingston, ON addresses primary care shortfalls with Family Physicians Recruitment Incentive Program

A 2020 report found that 55% of local physicians were not engaged in family practice even as Kingston experienced population growth. City officials approved an eight-year, CAD 2 million incentive fund to increase family physician supply. Doctors who open new practices or take over patients from retiring physicians qualify for CAD 100,000 over a five-year period. A Dual Career Support Program helps the partners of physicians find education and employment opportunities in Kingston.

Kingston, ON approves a drug analysis pilot that provides real-time intelligence on street drug use

City council members agreed to a 15-month pilot of analysis technology at Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC). Software developed by Spectra Plasmonics allows drug users to test small samples of street drugs prior to use. This platform analyzes drug types and toxicity to generate harm reduction resources for supervised users. KCHC and the City of Kingston will develop clearer pictures of street drug toxicity than those provided by autopsies and drug busts.

The 10-question survey asked about ride experiences, preferences, and suggestions for additional havens.
