The Upper Grand Family Organization consists of 33 family physicians, all with primary care practices in the community, and some providing care at the newly opened Groves Memorial Community Hospital situated between Elora and Fergus. Physicians work alongside three full-time OBGYNs, two General Surgeons and two Internal Medicine Specialists.
Elora and Fergus' population and housing developments are growing steadily. Situated 20 minutes north of Guelph, and 30 minutes south-west of Waterloo makes this an ideal community to work and live-in.

New Hospital built in 2020
Nestled between the communities of Elora and Fergus is the new 152,000 sq ft. Groves Memorial Community Hospital that backs on to the Elora Cataract Trailway and offers a modern, bright, healing environment. Each hallway has floor to ceiling windows allowing as much light in as possible. As much as the building features are great, the space and services are even better. Both the Medical Staff space and Medical Education space have increased in our new facility and the new hospital uses SMART technology systems throughout.We have two identical state-of-the-art operating rooms, three labour and delivery rooms (to help with our approx. 500 deliveries/year) and a brand new Emergency Department. With an entirely new facility, each department is equipped with the resources to provide exceptional care.
