Primary Care Network Registration: for those Thetis residents who do not currently have a family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner

In February, Thetis will mark a new chapter as the Vancouver Island Health Authority and TICA - Forbes Hall Health Services Group have collaborated to provide the community with a Nurse Practitioner for weekly on-site visits, while supported by virtual care.  This service will begin later in February. 

In preparation for the opening of this medical service, we are outreaching once again to find all resident Thetis Islanders who do not have a family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner to please register with the Primary Care Network.  The Nurse Practitioner’s client base will be filled from this registry, starting with those with the earliest registrations becoming clients through more recent ones until the set client base is filled. Any remaining registrants will be wait-listed.  More information will follow as available.

If you have not yet registered, please use the following link https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-connect-registry/cowichan, by phoning HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1 or for the deaf and hard-of-hearing 7-1-1.

We are very thankful that the work of your island volunteers and the serious intent of Island Health has created this Health and Medical accessibility for Thetis Islanders.
