Sea to Sky Residents Seeking a Family Practitioner - Register Now for the Health Connect Registry:
Many small or rural communities in BC struggle to recruit and retain primary care providers. Residents of Squamish and Whistler are now able to register as seeking care by joining the provincial Health Connect Registry. Work is underway to bring new practitioners into the community, but if you or a member of your family are currently without a physician, please take a moment and register that status here: Health Connect Registry | HealthLink BC

Registering helps us understand the volume of local need, which in turn helps us advocate for increased primary care resources and supports.  And by participating, you'll be helping to directly inform the primary care planning efforts underway in your home community.
