Longtime family physician dies

The Physician Recruitment Taskforce of Sarnia Lambton says a longtime family doctor has died.

Recruitment Coordinator Carly Cox said the taskforce sends its deepest condolences to the family of Dr. William G. M. Prendiville.

"He dedicated many years to caring for the residents of Sarnia Lambton and he will be deeply missed," said Cox.

Dr. Prendiville's patients are encouraged to continue to call his office, on Mara Street in Point Edward.

Cox said patients will be triaged and their medical needs will be managed with the support of the Rapids Family Health Team - Access to Care Centre.

She said the task force and Dr. Prendiville's family are in talks with a family physician to resume the practice and hope to confirm a successor in the near future.
