We respectfully acknowledge the unceded traditional territory of the Kwekiutl people and the traditional keepers of their land.  We want to say thank you for allowing us to live, work and play on your lands.

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 North Island Primary Care 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 the following communities:

  • Alert Bay
  • Port Alice
  • Port Hardy
  • Port McNeill
  • Sointula
  • Vancouver Island North Remote

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.
