Dix announces primary, community care facility coming to Vanderhoof
VANDERHOOF — British Columbia’s Health Minister Adrian Dix was in Vanderhoof Monday to announce locals will benefit from improved primary and community health care with the approval of a new integrated primary-care and community health services facility due to open in 2025.
“A new integrated primary and community care facility means the people of Vanderhoof will have better access to high-quality team-based health care when they need it,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health.
“Team-based care has become integral to the primary-care system in B.C. Building out a primary and community care system that focuses on improving access for patients across the province is a priority for our government.”
To establish a fully integrated primary and community care model, physicians and nurse practitioners practising at the Omineca Medical Clinic will be co-located with the Northern Health interprofessional teams in a new facility on the St. John Hospital Campus.
