The Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice brings together a dedicated group of family physicians and nurse practitioners from the communities of 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Tatla Lake, providing service to the surrounding communities in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. We operate as a Community Service Cooperative and are part of a province-wide initiative working alongside healthcare partners to improve and strengthen primary care in B.C.

Together with our members, we work to make the CIRD known as a sought-after region to practice family medicine, improve work-life balance for primary care providers, advocate for equitable rural health services, and design locally relevant programs that improve access to quality primary care in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.  

CIRD and Gibraltar Mine Partner to Support Rural Health Care Recruitment and Retention. 

The CIRD is pleased to announce a new partnership with Gibraltar Mine aimed at strengthening physician and nurse practitioner recruitment and retention across the Cariboo-Chilcotin region.

As the first step in this collaboration, Gibraltar has provided a fully furnished home to accommodate visiting medical students, nurse practitioner students, resident physicians, and locum physicians during their placements in Williams Lake, help address the challenge of finding short-term housing.  

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to practical, local solutions that support rural health care in our region.
