We respectfully acknowledge our presence on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation.

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.

South Okanagan Similkameen PCN 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 and around the following communities:

  • Princeton
  • Keremeos
  • Oliver
  • Osoyoos
  • Okanagan Falls
  • Penticton
  • Summerland

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.
