Bulkley Valley Witset Primary Care Network

Last updated

We acknowledge, with deep respect and gratitude, the opportunity for the Bulkley Valley Witset Primary Care Network to support access to primary care for patients who love, work and play on the ancestral lands of the Wet'suwet'en First 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.

Bulkley Valley Witset 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 the following communities:

  • Houston
  • Smithers
  • Telkwa
  • Topley
  • Quick
  • Witset

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.
