New Primary-Care Access Clinic Opens In Campbell River

People in Campbell River now have access to a new primary-care clinic.

“We continue to take more actions to strengthen primary care for people as it’s important that people can receive the care they need, closer to home,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health.

“Through this action, people in Campbell River and surrounding area will get better access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner to get the support they need and make informed decisions about their health.”

Campbell River Primary Care Access Clinic services are located in the administration building on the North Island Hospital grounds.

The building is located in the parking lot adjacent to the hospital.

North Island MLA Michele Babchuk says it’s a step forward in meeting the health-care needs of people living in Campbell River.

The clinic will offer services by appointment Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, for people who need access to same day primary care for non-emergency medical concerns.

There will be a dedicated health-care team including a physician or nurse practitioner, registered nurses, and a medical office assistant.

As partners, the Campbell River Division of Family Practice, Island Health, local physicians, and nurse practitioners – supported by the Ministry of Health and the Family Practices Services Committee of the Doctors of BC – are continuing to develop and invest in Campbell River primary care with services such as this new clinic.
