Dr. Wil Smith

Chief of Medical Staff

Dr. Smith is a great example of the successful efforts to train physicians in the north. Having grown up in the Maritimes and earning his MD from Dalhousie, he moved to northeastern Ontario and completed his Family Medicine and Anesthesia residency training at locations ranging from Timmins to Parry Sound. After working for five years in Cochrane, he moved to Parry Sound in 2009 and has been here ever since.

An accomplished orienteer and triathlete, Wil has represented Canada internationally at multiple World Championships. Having “retired” from elite athletics, he now enjoys trail building and mountain biking on the fantastic Canadian Shield terrain, and cheering on his daughters in Nordic skiing. Prior to taking on his role as Chief of Staff in 2020, Wil was instrumental in the launch of the Meditech EXPANSE system across the northeast, and served as President of the WPSHC Medical Staff from 2013-2020.
