PRINCE GEORGE — Pregnant people have a new option for care in Prince George with the opening of the new Prince George Maternity Clinic.

The new clinic opened on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 173-1600 15th Ave. in Prince George, and operates Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., enhancing access to co-ordinated, specialized maternity care for families in the region. Previously, maternity services in Prince George were provided by midwives and family physicians through their private clinics or at the Urgent and Primary Care Centre.     

“This new maternity clinic means more people in Prince George and area will be able to access care sooner and closer to home at a time when it matters most,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Health. “Whether it’s a first appointment, ongoing care or support after birth, this clinic is about making sure families are cared for every step of the way.”

No referral is necessary. People are encouraged to reach out via phone at 250-645-6909, stop by in person or email: PG.MaternityClinic@northernhealth.ca

The Ministry of Health is funding new social worker and nursing positions at the clinic. Care is delivered by midwives and family physicians. Northern Health works closely with the Prince George Division of Family Practice and the Prince George Primary Care Network on operational and staffing needs.

“As providers, we’re very excited about future directions for this clinic,” said Dr. Christine Brenckmann, family practice medical lead for the new clinic. “We hope to provide the mental-health, lactation and post-partum supports, which families have told us clearly that they need.”

The Ministry of Health has provided funding for more than two full-time equivalents of new staffing, including a social worker and a registered nurse. This new clinic was funded jointly between the Ministry of Health and the Fraser-Fort George Regional Hospital District.
