The South Peace Division of Family Practice supports the communities of Chetwynd, Tumbler Ridge, and Dawson Creek, serving as a platform for innovation in healthcare. As part of a province-wide initiative, Divisions of Family Practice are designed to strengthen healthcare across B.C. We operate as a not-for-profit society, with a membership that includes all family physicians and nurse practitioners in the region.
Together, our members work to improve patient access to local primary care, enhance physicians' influence on healthcare delivery and policy, and provide professional support for providers.
The Division enables local healthcare providers to collaborate with Northern Health Authority, the Family Practice Services Committee (FPSC), First Nations Health Authority, and the Ministry of Health to to identify community healthcare needs and develop effective solutions.
