The community is excited’: Indigenous doctor working in Wallaceburg and Walpole Island – CBC

Oct 18, 2017
A new Indigenous doctor now serving patients in Wallaceburg and Walpole Island is hoping to help bring a better understanding of traditional medicine into mainstream healthcare.
Dr. Samantha Boshart is currently working part-time at clinics in the community and will begin working full time in the spring.
“I’m hoping we can develop the traditional healing programs such that when we have patients I can actually sit with the traditional medicine person with the patient and we can kind of negotiate what approach might work best,” she said.
