Health Connect Registry, Surrey-North Delta
The Health Connect Registry is a new region-wide patient registry in Surrey and North Delta for people who are looking for a physician or nurse practitioner. It replaces the Surrey-North Delta Division of Family Practice patient portal waitlist. You can register in our community if you, your family, or a person in your care lives in one of our six Primary Care Network (PCN) neighbourhoods: North Delta-West Newton, North Surrey-Whalley, Guildford, Cloverdale-Panorama, Fleetwood or East Newton.
The Health Connect Registry is the most efficient way to find a family doctor or nurse practitioner in this region. Once registered, you will be added to the list in chronological order and contacted directly when a primary care provider is available. We ask you to please be patient, as it may take some time to be connected with a doctor or nurse practitioner.
Please note: If you previously registered with the Surrey-North Delta (SND) Division of Family Practice waitlist, and agreed to have your registration transferred to the Health Connect Registry:
- your name is on our list
- you will not lose your place in line
- you will be contacted to confirm or update your registration information

Vision for PCNs in Surrey-North Delta
About Primary Care Networks and the Health Connect Registry
PCNs are community-based networks of health care professionals and clinics who plan and deliver all day-to-day health care needs of a community. Within these networks, teams of providers work together. This way, patients receive better care, by the right person, at the right time, closer to home.
PCNs are part of the Province's Primary and Community Care Strategy to make sure you have faster and better access to the everyday health care services.
The Health Connect Registry is part of this strategy. The registry works with active PCNs who have the infrastructure in place, to help patients find a regular family doctor or nurse practitioner, because we know that having a regular provider leads to better health for you and your family.
