Headwaters doctors named ‘Family Physicians of the Year’ Two Headwaters Health Care Centre (Headwaters) physicians, Drs. Stephen and Stephanie Milone, received this year's Ontario College of Family Physicians Regional Family Physician of the Year Award. The award recognizes seven family physicians across Ontario for their outstanding contributions within their region, the exemplary care they give their patients, and their involvement in activities that enhance family medicine in the province. The physicians share a family medicine practice in Orangeville.
