Overview

A Primary Care Network (PCN) is a community-based network of health care professionals and clinics who plan and deliver the health care needs of a community.

The Central Interior Rural PCN brings together family physicians, nurse practitioners, Divisions of Family Practice, Interior Health and First Nation partners to plan and deliver primary healthcare services to residents of Central Interior Rural communities.

Central Interior Rural PCN provides primary care services to the community, supported by healthcare professionals linked to a range of specialized services. This includes people living in and around:

• 100 Mile House and area: Lac la Hache, 108 Mile, Forest Grove, Lone Butte, 70 Mile House, Clinton

Find a primary care provider

The Health Connect Registry is the most efficient way to find a family doctor or nurse practitioner in the region. 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.

To register, you’ll need to provide your Personal Health Number, B.C. home address and contact information.

There is currently no anticipated timeline for patients to be matched to a family doctor or nurse practitioner.

Please refrain from contacting clinics directly to inquire about waitlists. Clinics are experiencing a very high call volume and do not have the capacity to respond to these requests. For fairness and efficiency, clinics are transitioning away from individual clinic waitlists to the centralized Health Connect Registry and will refer anyone calling to self-register with the Health Connect Registry.
