Patients and staff at Niagara Health are recognizing the incredible work of our talented and caring physicians by joining in the celebration of Doctors’ Day on May 1. Our doctors’ contributions make a huge difference each day in the lives of our patients and their families.
Over the past year, there have been 24 physician recruitments and leadership appointments at Niagara Health as we continue to attract specialists from across Canada and the world.
After completing fellowships at the University of British Columbia and Western University in London, one of our recent recruits, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nathan Sacevich is now serving Niagara Health patients with his much-needed upper limb expertise.
“I’ve been involved in academics and research for as long as I can remember,” says Dr. Sacevich. “So the capacity to work at Niagara Health in a relatively small city with an urban centre not too far away, to have a new hospital and have academic affiliations like McMaster University is kind of everything I was looking for bundled into one.”

About Doctors’ Day
Doctors’ Day is celebrated across the province each May 1 to recognize Ontario’s 28,000 doctors and their commitment to improving the health of all patients. May 1 was chosen to mark the birthday of Dr. Emily Stowe – Canada’s first female physician and founder of the womans’ movement in this country.
More than 320,000 patients across the province are cared for by an Ontario doctor each day.
