People in Prince George will soon have better access to team-based everyday health care, with the new Prince George Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) anticipated to open in June 2019 and the launch of a primary-care network (PCN).
Together, the PCN and UPCC will recruit more than 30 new health-care providers over the next three years. This includes 26 nursing and allied health-care professionals, one general practitioner, two nurse practitioners, one clinical pharmacist, an Elder to ensure cultural safety and and two new resources to support extended access to lab services in the community.
The provincial government will provide approximately $4.7 million in annual funding by the third year to the Prince George network, including the new urgent and primary-care centre as net new positions are added and patients are attached.
