Finding a Doctor

Posted by HIM on Monday April 16th, 2012

Want to take better care of yourself? One easy way to improve your physical health is to have a primary care provider or 'family doctor' rather than going to a hospital or walk in clinic. Sure this might lower the rates of doctor themed 'Missed Connections' but studies show that people who seek primary care have better health outcomes and are more likely to use health care resources appropriately. This means you're less likely to spend time in hospital.

Now you all want to find a doctor of your very own, but how? Check out the College of Physicians & Surgeons of BC to find a listing of doctors who are taking patients.
