The Marathon Physician Associate Group (MPAG) is a progressive and innovative practice funded via the RNPGA agreement for 7 associate physicians that was established in 1996. We employ 7 administrative staff who support our practice. In 2005, MPAG became affiliated with the Marathon Family Health Team, which is an inter-professional clinic that employs various healthcare providers (social worker, dietitian, RPNs, RN, NPs, physician assistant, health promoter), an epidemiologist and administrative and management staff, including a clinic director.
Together, we serve a local population of 3,100, as well as Biigtigong Nishnaabeg and Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg First Nations communities (total approximately 4200). Our spacious clinic features 18 exam rooms and is located next to the hospital and the supportive housing unit on our “health care campus”. Doctors share a large open-style office offering lots of opportunity for corridor consults.
We are also a teaching facility for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University, so host medical students and residents on a regular basis. We also welcome locum physicians on a regular basis to maintain and provide quality healthcare within our community.

Testimonials “One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that I have a great relationship with the other docs, clinic staff, and hospital staff. I feel like I am among friends, it’s almost a social visit as much as a work visit. I don’t feel isolated, and I feel like I have excellent support not just for emergencies but for all aspects of life.” – Locum Physician “The thing which sets Marathon apart for me is the personal relationships I have with the people here. I fell that as a resident and over my first locum I really got to know a lot of people here personally, and every time I come it’s like coming to visit my friends and mentors. I always feel welcome, and I feel at ease with them. I find often on locums you are stuck by yourself, and at this point in practice it’s not as big of a deal medically as it is isolating socially. But in Marathon I feel like I am always welcomes in as part of the group by all the staff, and I’ve never felt like I have no one to reach out to.” – Locum Physician |
