}}Hector Joseph Pothier (September 26, 1891 – January 7, 1977) was a physician and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada. He represented Clare in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1963 to 1967 as a Progressive Conservative member.[1]

Born in 1891 at Eel Brook, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Pothier was educated at Saint Anne's College and Dalhousie Medical School.[2] A fourth year medical student at the time of the Halifax Explosion, Pothier was called into service to help treat the survivors.[3] Pothier continued his medical studies at Saint Vincent's Hospital in New York City.

Medical career

He returned to Nova Scotia after graduation, setting up practice in Weymouth. After retiring from politics, he returned to practice in Beaver River.

Death

Pothier died on January 7, 1977.[2]

Posthumous recognition

A bursary is offered in his name by the Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine to assist a needy student interested in practising in a rural community.[4]
