Dr. Todd Young

Dr. Young’s journey into healthcare began after high school when he pursued nursing, earning a Diploma in Nursing from the Western Memorial Regional Hospital School of Nursing in 2001. His early experience as an outpost nurse in northern Ontario’s Indigenous communities opened his eyes to the challenges of providing healthcare in isolated regions, which ultimately inspired him to pursue medicine. After earning his medical degree from McMaster University in 2004 and completing his rural family medicine residency, he focused on serving communities that lacked sufficient healthcare resources.

Dr. Young’s career includes key leadership roles, such as the Green Bay Health Center physician lead and the Valley Vista Seniors Home Medical Director. In 2016, he founded Main Street Medical Clinic, where he integrated telemedicine into traditional care. This innovative model allowed patients in remote areas to access specialized medical services without needing to travel long distances.

Building on this success, Dr. Young launched MEDICURO Virtual Health Inc., providing virtual consultations, prescriptions, and healthcare services to people across Newfoundland and Labrador. By eliminating distance barriers, MEDICURO has made healthcare more accessible, particularly in remote communities.

Dr. Young has also made significant contributions to addiction care, launching Newfoundland and Labrador’s first rapid access addictions program in 2017. The program provides immediate support for individuals struggling with substance use disorders, ensuring timely care with satellite offices throughout the province.

Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Todd Kevin Young is committed to mentoring future healthcare professionals and giving back to his community through youth sports sponsorships and charitable contributions. His innovative work continues to positively impact healthcare delivery in rural Newfoundland and Labrador, improving access and quality of care for those in need.
