Dr. Shereika Warren will start working at the Davidson Health Centre in October.
Davidson welcomed a new doctor to the community on July 17. Dr. Shereika Warren spent the day meeting members of the public, touring the Davidson and Craik Health facilities, and exploring what the community offers. Dr. Warren’s busy day began with an informal meet-and-greet at the Town Office in Davidson at 8:30 a.m. While at the office she met with representatives from the towns and RMs of Davidson and Craik. Welcoming committee members Denise Brecht and Victoria Martin spent the remain- der of the morning giving Dr. Warren a tour of Davidson to view some living accommodation options and highlight the community’s offerings. Shortly after 12 p.m., the group stopped at the Kal Tire Customer Appreciation BBQ for a quick lunch and more casual introductions to community members. Her afternoon was all business as she met with Saskatchewan Health Authority representatives before viewing the health facilities in both Davidson and Craik. “Everyone was friendly and very welcoming,” said Dr Warren. “I especially loved the cards the children made for me. That really warmed my heart. “The community feels like a great place where I can see myself living and working, and I am really looking forward to it.” Dr. Warren will be in the community of Arcola for the next six weeks as she finalizes her ‘Assessment’ required to practise in Saskatchewan. She is expected to begin working in David- son in October.
