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.

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.

Fort Nelson PCN provides primary care services to the community, supported by healthcare professionals linked to a range of specialized services. This includes people living in and around:

  • Fort Nelson
  • Muncho Lake
  • Prophet River
  • Toad River

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.

There is currently no anticipated timeline for a patient to be attached to a family doctor or nurse practitioner. We would like to thank you for your patience while you wait to be attached. In the interim, we suggest that you connect with the health care services below that best support your needs.
