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 Okanagan PCN is a group of family physicians, nurse practitioners, clinicians and program administrators working together with the goal of improving patient access and health-related experiences within Central Okanagan communities. This includes people living in and around the following communities:

  • Kelowna
  • Lake Country
  • Peachland
  • West Kelowna

Access services in your community using the search field below. Learn more about health care in the region by visiting Interior Health or the Central Okanagan Division of Family Practice.

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.

The registry is available to all patients in or relocating to the Central Okanagan who do not currently have a family physician or nurse practitioner.

The Central Okanagan Primary Care Network is recruiting family doctors and nurse practitioners to the region. Wait times vary based on each family doctor and nurse practitioner’s capacity.

Slips, trips and falls can happen at any time of the year, but they are more common when conditions are snowy and icy. As winter conditions can change quickly, it is important to know what hazards to watch for as well as safety habits to help avoid injury.
