The Beaufort Family Health Society (“the Society”) was formed in Spring 2022 with the mandate to open and operate an interdisciplinary family health clinic, Cumberland Village Health Care, in Cumberland BC.

The Society is seeking Primary Care Providers to build out a supportive, inclusive, longitudinal family care clinic. This is an excellent opportunity for practitioners to influence the clinic design and operations.

Our practice will consist of six Family Physicians and/or Nurse Practitioners, and as a Primary Care Network (PCN) clinic, will also have several Allied Health providers working alongside our primary care providers.

The clinic is a recently constructed (2020) medical clinic with spacious, light, modern exam rooms. The clinic is co-located with a multidisciplinary physiotherapy/chiropractic/wellness centre and a pharmacy.

Community Information: The Village of Cumberland is a vibrant community located in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. The Village provides an inviting small-town atmosphere and yet is only a ten-minute commute to all of the amenities of a major urban center.

Cumberland is a growing community with a population of 3,750 within the Comox Valley (population 72,500), with a significantly younger demographic (median age 39.3) than surrounding communities within the Comox Valley.

Governance & Leadership: The Beaufort Family Health Society, which operates the clinic, was formed in 2022 with the mandate to operate a community-led family medical clinic. The non-profit is governed by a Board of Directors.
