Overview
Primary Care Networks (PCN) are community-based networks of health care professionals and clinics who plan and deliver the health care needs of a community.
The Western Communities Primary Care Network (PCN) team is working with local clinics to help connect people to a primary care provider, either a family doctor or nurse practitioner. This includes people living in the following communities:
- Colwood
- Langford
- Highlands
- Esquilmalt
- View Royal
- Metchosin
- Sooke
- Jaun de Fuca Coast
Find a family doctor or nurse practitioner
If you need a primary care provider, register on the Health Connect Registry to get matched with a family doctor or nurse practitioner in your community.
The Health Connect Registry is the primary tool used by healthcare providers to add patients to their practice. Wait times will vary based on each doctor and nurse practitioner's capacity.
