Last updated: September 12, 2024

Primary care is the first point of access into B.C.’s health care system. Primary Care Networks (PCN) are community-based networks of health care professionals and clinics who work with the community to develop local healthcare solutions to meet the unique needs of their community. 

PCNs link family practices and other primary care clinics together with health authorities and other health organizations in a geographic area. Within these networks, family doctors and nurse practitioners work collaboratively with healthcare providers, including registered nurses, pharmacists, social workers, midwives, mental health professionals, Indigenous and community providers and others.

Care is offered through different types of service models including:

  • Family Practice Clinics
  • Urgent and Primary Care Centres
  • Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Clinics
  • First Nations Led Primary Care Centres
  • Community Health Centres
  • Foundry Centres
