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 qathet Primary Care Network 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:

  • Powell River
  • qathet Regional District
  • Lund 
  • Savary Island
  • Texada Island
  • Tla'Amin Nation 

Find a family doctor or nurse practitioner

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. 

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. 

Search for primary care health services and support in your community.

You can also search our list of all health services available throughout B.C., which includes services related to primary care, emergency care, mental health and substance use, home care, public health units, pharmacies, labs and more.
