Work in Mission
About the Mission Division of Family Practice
The Mission Division of Family Practice is a local-non-profit society of community based Primary Care Physicians. The Division gives the opportunity to work collaboratively not only with Doctors of BC, the FPSC, and the Ministry of Health, but also local municipalities and community agencies. Our goal is to enhance patient care and build a network of support for Family Physicians through education to create a health community.
The Mission Division of Family Practice would like to acknowledge that their work takes place on the unceded, traditional, and ancestral territories of the Stó:lō People, particularly the Sq’ewlets, Matsqui, Kwantlen, and Leq'á:mel Peoples.
