Community Details

A proud history, vibrant lifestyle and a bright future all combine to make picturesque Windsor a magnetic visitor destination and a delightful community in which to live and work.

Located in the heart of Nova Scotia at the eastern gate to the famed Annapolis Valley, Windsor features the benefits of rural living as well as convenient proximity to Metropolitan Halifax.

While quickly gaining renown as "The Birthplace of Hockey", Windsor is also home to historic Fort Edward, the original Sam Slick Days festival, now known as the annual Windsor~West Hants Summer Fest, Howard Dill's Giant Pumpkins, and the internationally-recognized Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia.

Skiing at Martock, golf at the Avon Valley Golf & Country Club, and a host of community events throughout the year add to Windsor's claim that it is perhaps the best place in Nova Scotia in which to live and play!

Practicing in Nova Scotia

Each of the four administrative Zones within the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) have a Department Head of Family Practice supported by a broader medical administrative structure for family practice, which includes medical leadership at the network level.

Community Health Networks are geographic based; there are 14 networks in Nova Scotia, with five in the Central Zone.

The Networks serve as a mechanism to facilitate linkages across all health system and community partners, linking primary, secondary, tertiary, and diagnostic care across settings (hospital, community, long term care).

Reporting to the Head, Department of Family Practice, Central Zone and working within a co-leadership model with the network Primary Health Care Manager, the network community family practice lead provides service leadership and support to ensure that Network medical staff activities are consistent with the overall strategic and operational direction of the Department and aligned with NSHA strategic imperatives.

Examples include: responding to physician network inquiries on specific topics, providing contextual information about specific issues, individuals, communities, etc., based on existing knowledge of network and relationships with network physicians.

Work in a co-leadership model with the Network Primary Health Care Manager with scheduled check-ins in person or via e-technology.
