Richmond Primary Care Network

We acknowledge and thank the Musqueam, Stz’uminus, Kwantlen, Stó:lō, Tsawwassen, Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), and Coast Salish First Peoples on whose traditional and unceded territories we live, work, and play. Acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of Indigenous communities is an expression of cultural humility, and involves recognizing our duty and desire to support the provision of culturally safe care to Indigenous, Inuit, and Métis people.

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.

Richmond is comprised of three Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and represent a partnership between the Richmond Division of Family Practice and Vancouver Coastal Health. They support Richmond residents in achieving their health goals through collaborative, team-based care, connecting physicians, nurse practitioners, clinicians, and program administrators

The Richmond 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:

 Richmond West PCN Richmond City Centre PCN Richmond East PCN
  • Blundell
  • Thompson
  • Seafair
  • Steveston 
  • Richmond City Centre
  • Bridgeport
  • Gilmore / Shellmont / East Hamilton
  • Broadmoor
  • East and West Cambie

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. You can also register family members or people in your care. To register, you will need to provide the Personal Health Number (PHN), B.C. home address, and contact information for each person being registered. 

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. Wait times will vary based on each doctor and nurse practitioner's capacity. 

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.
