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 East Kootenay PCN is working to improve the health of the population through timely access to comprehensive, person-centred, team-based care that is equitable and culturally safe. In the EKPCN, teams of healthcare professionals such as family physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, allied health professionals, clinic staff, midwives and Aboriginal care navigators collaborate to improve delivery of primary care to patients.
