On July 1, 1976, Dr. Chalker came to Twillingate where she worked with Dr. J.M. Olds for approximately 4 years until his retirement from surgery. During her stay, Dr. Chalker focused mainly on general practice, general surgery, and obstetrics. With the regionalization of Twillingate Hospital in 1994, Dr. Chalker moved to G.B. Cross Memorial Hospital in Clarenville. Although she officially retired in 1999, Dr. Chalker continued her medical service by doing locums at Twillingate until 2006. |
