Join the Waitlist
The Fraser Northwest Division registration mechanism has been transferred to a provincial waitlist. The FNW Primary Care Network connects patients without a primary care provider to family physicians or nurse practitioners that are accepting patients using the Fraser Northwest Health Connect Registry (HCR). Patients can also call 8-1-1 to self-register over the phone. Registering using this online tool adds you to a local waitlist for a provider. You may also register your family members or a person in your care.
If you were already on our FNW waitlist, you will be contacted via phone or email for your consent to move to this system. If you give your consent, your name will be added to the Health Connect Registry in the same order as when you signed up (you will NOT lose your place in the line), and you will be contacted by phone or email by HealthLink BC to get more information on your record. You do not need to join the waitlist again.
- To register, you will be asked to provide your B.C. address including your postal code and your personal health number.
- Once registered, you will remain on the registry until you are matched with a family doctor or nurse practitioner in your primary care network.
- When a provider becomes available, you will be contacted using the contact information you provided in the registry
- If you don’t have Internet access or need translation services (available in over 130 languages), register by calling HealthLink BC at 8-1-1.
- Those who are deaf or hard of hearing can call 7-1-1 or contact HealthLink BC using Video Relay Services(VRS) or Teletypewriter (TTY).
- 211 is Canada's primary source of information for government and community-based, non-clinical health and social services. The free and confidential service can be accessed 24 hours a day, in more than 150 languages, by phone, chat, text, and web.
