AB  - Two years ago, the 5500 residents of marathon, ont., had 1 overworked physician to look after their medical needs. Today, they have 7 physicians to share the load. In this article Michael OReilly looks at the steps the town took to attract new doctors. It offered a financial incentive and also worked to revitalize its hospital. As Marathon worked to attract new doctors, it also found that a new generation of physicians has much different career aspirations than past generations.
