Dr. Doniya Quenneville Deep River and District Health (DRDH) is thrilled to announce that Dr. Doniya Quenneville will be joining the North Renfrew Family Health Team in June 2025, further strengthening health care services for our community.
Dr. Quenneville will be establishing a new primary care practice while also providing care in the hospital’s Emergency Department and Medical Inpatient Unit. The addition of Dr. Quenneville will enhance access to essential healthcare services for local residents and support the health and well-being of our community.
Dr. Quenneville will be accepting new patients from the Health Care Connect wait list who do not currently have a family physician or primary care provider. Residents seeking a family doctor must register with Health Care Connect by calling 1-800-445-1822 or visiting the Health Care Connect website.
Dr. Quenneville brings a diverse background in health care to her new role as a physician. She began her career in Nursing, completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Ottawa and enjoyed providing community care before pursuing medical school at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Sudbury. She is a recent graduate of the University of Ottawa’s Family Medicine Residency program, where she trained in Pembroke and gained hands-on experience alongside several previous and current local physicians in Deep River, including Dr. Kipp, Dr. Ceponis, and Dr. Sage. Dr. Quenneville is committed to providing comprehensive patient-centered family medicine as well as expanding access to gender-affirming care in the Ottawa Valley.
No stranger to rural living, Dr. Quenneville grew up in Elliot Lake and has trained in various communities across Northern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley. She and her wife, Amanda Quenneville, a previous resident of Deep River, relocated here last spring and look forward to raising their young daughter in this welcoming and vibrant community. Dr. Quenneville is excited to connect with local residents, both professionally and personally, and deeply appreciates the warm welcome she has already received from friends, neighbours, and colleagues at DRDH and the North Renfrew Family Health Team.
DRDH President and CEO, Janna Hotson, expressed enthusiasm about Dr. Quenneville’s arrival. “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Quenneville to our team and to Deep River. Her expertise and passion for patient care will greatly benefit our community and help ensure more people have access to a family doctor.”
As part of its continued commitment to health care excellence, DRDH remains active in physician recruitment efforts and is currently seeking to fill additional positions in primary and acute care. The three municipalities of Deep River, Laurentian Hills, and Head, Clara & Maria recognize that recruiting and retaining physicians in North Renfrew is crucial to the physical and economic health of our communities. The four-party partnership with DRDH enables recruitment and retention activities to be supported.
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Dr. Doniya Quenneville and her family as they begin this new chapter in our community.
