On Thursday it was announced that Dr. Dale Ziter of Windsor has been named the 2015 Regional Family Physician of the Year by the Ontario College of Family Physicians.
The award to Dr. Ziter recognizes his outstanding contributions to family medicine and the care of his patients over the last 30 years. The announcement of the award coincides with Family Doctor Week.
The week is used as an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of family doctors to the well-being of their patients.
