Just as every child is unique in their family, every birth is different. When Kathryn arrived at the Obstetrics department at Headwaters Health Care Centre to deliver her third child, she knew what to expect, already having two healthy children born at Headwaters six and twelve years ago, respectively.

Things were progressing according to her birth plan, and she chose an epidural. But when Dr. Umeh, a trusted obstetrician who had delivered one of her girls, arrived as scheduled to break her water, Kathryn knew there was something terribly wrong when she saw the tremendous rush of fluid.

As a longtime resident of Orangeville, Susan had few occasions to use the services of Headwaters Health Care Centre over the years. It was not until 2021, after a routine mammogram, when she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer that she became a regular.

Dr. Kiddy Klair decided to move to the area to pursue her passion for geriatric care. Learn about her vision for older adults.

What brought you to Headwaters?
I have been a locum doctor at Headwaters filling in for regular Internal Medicine doctors since August 2021.I started by picking up a few weekend call shifts. However, I always wanted to do more for the community. I have particular interest to help the seniors community, so I decided to give up my job in Toronto and my hour-long commute (on a good day), move to the area and join Headwaters fulltime to pursue my interests.

In July, Jacqueline was on a vacation in Newfoundland with her family, except for her 17-year-old son Graydon who was tied up with lacrosse games in Orangeville. Graydon had plans to join his family for five days of the trip between his play-off series.

Graydon, during one of the lacrosse matches* broke his hand. He was temporarily casted at the Groves Memorial Community Hospital and referred to Dr. Rebecca Greer, Plastic Surgeon, for follow-up care.
