Interior Health, along with the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice have opened a new Primary Care Network Hub in an effort to meet healthcare needs.
Executive Director for Clinical Operations, Karen Cooper said “this Williams Lake Primary Care Hub will improve access to primary care for community members of the Cariboo.”
“We have a diverse team of health-care professionals already in place, and are working to bring in primary care providers, including physicians and nurse practitioners.”
The clinic is in it’s early phase, and will only accept new patients by referral from a health-care professional or hospital emergency department.
The release added that once primary care providers are in place, patients will be matched to the clinic through the Health Connect Registry.
Down the road, the clinic will introduce virtual health care, improving access to primary care for those without a family physician.
The hub is located at the Yorston Medical Building, 143 4 Avenue South.
More information about the new Primary Care Network Hub can be found on Interior Health’s website here.
