We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Colton Kennedy has joined Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre as a full-time Orthopaedic Surgeon with the Department of Surgery.

Dr. Kennedy earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine at Lakehead University here in Thunder Bay, where he also completed his Orthopaedic Surgery Residency. He further honed his expertise through two prestigious fellowships at the University of Toronto: a Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Fellowship at Humber River Hospital, and a Complex Clinical Spine and Trauma Surgery Fellowship at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

Throughout his training, Dr. Kennedy demonstrated exceptional leadership, serving as Chief Resident at NOSM and Chief Fellow in Spine Surgery at Sunnybrook. He has been actively engaged in medical education, acting as the Mock Oral Lead for the University of Toronto Spine Program and instructing in Canadian Orthopaedic Surgery Medical Education courses.

We are confident that Dr. Kennedy’s broad clinical expertise in arthroplasty, spine, and trauma surgery, combined with his leadership, teaching, research, and community dedication, will make him an invaluable asset to our hospital and the Thunder Bay community.

Let’s all extend a warm welcome to Dr. Colton Kennedy!
