FPSC has announced that the After Hours Care program pilot, initially set to end March 19, 2024, is transitioning to an ongoing program and expanding to a new region, providing certainty to participating family physicians, nurse practitioners, and their patients.
Maternity physicians and midwives will work collaboratively at the EPCC to provide comprehensive, high-quality, and personalized perinatal care.
Encompass Pregnancy Care Cranbrook (EPCC) has welcomed two local registered midwives into its clinic, strengthening support for maternity patients throughout their pregnancy and post-partum journey.
Today FPSC launched a pilot program in partnership with HealthLink BC to provide after hours care for attached patients of family physicians and nurse practitioners in the Langley, South Island, South Okanagan Similkameen, Thompson Region, and Victoria divisions of family practice.
