President
Dr. Steve Major, MD
Dr. Stephen Major is a family physician who has practised medicine in Newfoundland and Labrador for almost 30 years.
He was born in St. John’s to parents Rev. Carl Major, an Anglican minister from Stephenville, and Norma Scott from Bay L’Argent on the Burin Peninsula. Throughout his childhood he travelled with his family, living in Antigua, Toronto, Whitbourne, Trinidad and Tobago before settling in Canada.

Outside of his regular clinic hours he reserves one day a week for visiting his patients in nursing homes and making house calls. He has also spent more than 20 years working as an emergency room physician, taking a hiatus in 2023 while serving on the Board of the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association (NLMA).
