Fort Nelson Primary Care Network
Working together to create a seamless primary healthcare experience for all residents
We acknowledge the traditional territories of the Indigenous Peoples of the region including the Dene, Cree, Dunne Tsaa, Tsááʔ C̨hé Ne Dane, Dene Tha’ and Kaska peoples, many of whom are connected through kinship networks, and the enduring presence of the Métis community all of which have historic, cultural and long-standing connections to the land base in northeast British Columbia.
