We respectfully acknowledge the First Nation communities Cowichan Tribes, Penelakut Tribe, Halalt, Lyackson, Stz’uminus, Malahat, Ts'uubaa-asatx and Ditidaht.

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.

Cowichan 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:

  • Chemainus
  • Cobble Hill
  • Crofton
  • Duncan
  • Ladysmith
  • Lake Cowichan
  • Mill Bay
  • Penelakut Island
  • Saltair
  • Shawnigan Lake
  • Thetis Island

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.
