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 St. James and the Northern Interior Rural PCN team 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 and around Fort St. James and the Nechako Community Health Services Area.

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.
