New unattached care clinic open
Shop Hours: Mon - Fri: 8 am to 5 pm & Sat: 8 am to 4 pm
JEFF HELSDON Editor
The new Tillsonburg Unattached Care Clinic opened on Monday. The Ingersoll Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic, in partnership with the Oxford Ontario Health Team, announced on Friday that the clinic would be open for booking appointments starting Monday. The first patients were seen on Tuesday in the location at Roulston’s Phatmacy. For people without a doctor or nurse practitioner only, the clinic is a temporary solution launched to deal with a large number of Tillsonburg and area residents without access to primary care. The hope is it will gain permament funding in the next year. The Ingersoll NPLC will operate the Tillsonburg Unattached Care Clinic with support of Oxford OHT partners. “This clinic represents a collaborative response to a growing gap in access to primary care,” said Stephanie Nevins, executive director of the Ingersoll NPLC. The initiative has been made possible through funding from the Town of Tillsonburg and with the support of Oxford OHT members, including the Ingersoll Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic, Roulston’s Pharmacy-Tillsonburg, Tillsonburg, Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital, and the Thames Valley Family Health Team. It was an exciting day for Jessica Carrasco-Hardin, the nurse practitioner, who will be at the clinic. She comes to the position from working as the clinical lead RN at Alexandra Hospital Ingersoll with a background in emergency medicine. CONTINUED TO PAGE 2

Not everyone had success Saturday at Tillsonburg’s 11th Annual Free Fishing Derby at Lake Lisgar, but Theo Bowman of Tillsonburg caught his share. “Probably about… six or seven,” said seven-year-old Theo, fishing with his two-year-old sister Myla Bowman and mother Laurel Dade – and live releasing back into Lake Lisgar with help from Myla, who had witnessed her
first derby fishing with their mother in 2023. “Want to see the carp I caught?” Theo asked, proud of the big one he caught Thursday at Coronation Park, photographed on his mother’s phone. “We caught a five-pounder.” “Usually he catches the big fish,” said Laurel. “Pittock (Woodstock), Otterville… we’re all over the place. Theo loves fishing!” “Should we catch some more?” she asked. CONTINUED TO PAGE 10
