Lifestyle. Innovation. Collaboration and Support.
Unsurpassed Lifestyle.
Located next to metro Vancouver and bordering the Pacific Ocean, our geographic location is one of the most desirable places to live in the world, with outdoor recreation, a rich culture, and a mix of vibrant suburbs, peaceful rural communities and world-class city amenities.
Innovation in Primary Care.
We are proud of many leading-edge enhancements in patient care that contribute to a rewarding family practice. These include new GP-led organizations called “Divisions of Family Practice” - formal structures in which independent GPs work together and with Provincial partners to exchange ideas, design patient care, and provide community physician leadership in broader system planning.
A Committed Province.
BC’s Ministry of Health Services (MOHs) views Primary Care as the cornerstone of health care; a commitment that is formalized in the BC Primary Health Care Charter. The MOHs is collaborating with the BC Medical Association on joint initiatives that support community physicians, including funded programs and incentives that advance patient care and practice innovations, and support the care of complex patients.
A Dynamic Health Care Environment.
