Surrounded by pristine lakes, rivers, and marshlands of every size, Hearst is peacefully nestled within the majestic Boreal Forest. Where urban car horns and sirens are replaced by the enchanting call of loons and the noble howling of wolves. Where city glares and haze are superseded by northern lights and clean air. Where the hustle and bustle of the big centres are swapped by a calm and healthy lifestyle. Inside this natural haven lies a small rural town with a friendly vibe, a rich cultural heritage, a prominent postsecondary and research scene, and an innovative and quality-driven health network.


The Hearst Medical Recruitment Alliance invites you to discover the advantages of practicing medicine in our enchanting part of the woods.
