Agassiz Medical Centre Community Board

The Agassiz Medical Centre Community Board is responsible to provide all the equipment (medical and computer) and furnishings within the entire clinic. Since the community board purchases the equipment and furnishings, the community owns it. Agassiz Medical Centre is a community owned clinic and therefore it is not owned by the physicians or government. The community board receives monthly payments from the City of Morden, the RM of Stanley and the Agassiz Physicians Medical Corporation. The community board is a registered charity and receives donations. All purchases for equipment must be approved by the community board.

There are two main benefits of a community owned clinic.
1) It is a huge advantage when recruiting physicians as there is virtually no cost for them to 'set up' their practice. They can finish medical school and start practicing the next day. When potential physicians are looking for places to practice, this is a huge advantage for our community.

2) If a physician decides to leave our community, they take no equipment or furnishings from the clinic. Other than the loss of the physician (which is very unfortunate), there is no loss to the community.
