He continues to assist the local health foundation and actively welcomes new physicians to the community.

Dr. Bishop is former senior medical officer with the Sunrise Health Authority, and has been awarded lifetime memberships in the SMA, the Canadian Medical Association and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan. He is a recipient of the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal.
