Deep River and District Health (DRDH) is pleased to announce that two local family physicians - Dr. Ceponis and Dr. McVey - will be moving their family medicine practices into our brand new Primary Care Building when it officially opens later this summer.


This exciting move supports DRDH’s commitment to improving access and coordination of care by bringing more health services together in one convenient location. Co-locating multiple primary care providers on one campus allows for a more seamless care experience, improved collaboration between providers, and easier access to the services patients 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, closer collaboration between healthcare providers, and care delivered in a welcoming, 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 be home to 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.


Recognizing the opportunity to enhance care integration, DRDH made the strategic decision to expand the original building design to accommodate more family physicians and health services under one roof. This investment reflects our commitment to creating a stronger, more connected health campus for our community.


The independent practices of Dr. Ceponis and Dr. McVey are expected to transition to the new building in September. DRDH looks forward to officially welcoming them to our growing health campus and to a future of more collaborative, patient-centered primary care.
