Reporting at this CHMA FM link:
Meet Dr. Roshni Kanji and Dr. Bruno Chiasson, a husband and wife physician team.. They are family physicians in the town of Sackville who play an important role in the overall wellbeing and quality of life of Sackvillians.In their practice, they care for patients of all ages, from newborns to elderly community members. They also provide care at Horizon’s Sackville Memorial Hospital to inpatients and patients in the Emergency Department.
“I was born and raised in New Brunswick,” said Dr. Chiasson. “And after my medical training abroad, I knew I wanted to come back home. When we started looking into it, we were instantly charmed by Sackville.”
Dr. Kanji and Dr. Chiasson were immediately drawn to the Sackville lifestyle – the great outdoors, the adventure activities in all four seasons, the safe environment for a family, and the flexible and diverse working environment.
They both love the fact that they can practice in a beautiful rural area and still have the hospital and university right in town, and also have access to the resources and support of the larger centres in New Brunswick that are so close. 
They’re encouraging physicians, especially those that are interested in practising in a rural area, to consider practising in New Brunswick.
“The comradery amongst team members and the work-life balance are great, and there is so much opportunity here to make a difference.“
If you or a physician you know may be interested in exploring a career with Horizon, contact Careers@Horizonnb.ca with “Physician Opportunities” in the subject line and we will follow up to chat.What do you have to contribute to the discussions on healthcare in the town? Are your needs met?
