Why do I need a family doctor or nurse practitioner?
Having a family doctor or nurse practitioner means you have a dedicated care team that knows you, understands your health history and is there to support you at every stage of life. Your primary care team focuses not only on treating illness, but also on keeping you well, through regular check-ups, preventative care and recommended screenings that help you catch potential concerns early. They provide timely care when you're sick and partner with you to manage ongoing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma. When additional support is needed, they connect to a specialist or community services, helping to coordinate your care so it feels easier to navigate.
I have a family doctor or nurse practitioner but would like to transfer. Can I still sign up?
Individuals who have access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner are encouraged to continue receiving care from their current provider. At this time, we are prioritizing individuals who are not connected to a family doctor or nurse practitioner and/or are experiencing difficulty accessing their current provider. If you are having challenges accessing your current provider, you can sign up and a member of our team will follow up with you.
