It is important you have a primary care provider for ongoing healthcare for you and your family following your delivery. If you do not have a primary care provider, local area residents can call 8-1-1 to be placed on the Kamloops Primary Care Waitlist. We encourage you to call early in your pregnancy even if you are being cared for by a maternity care provider.

The Kamloops Primary Care Waitlist was created in November 2016 and is being managed by HealthLinkBC (8-1-1) for people in the Kamloops area who are looking for a family doctor and do not currently have one. The process of connecting people on the waitlist will take some time, and your patience is appreciated. Once additional physicians and nurse practitioners are brought into Kamloops, you will be contacted.

If you think you might be in labour it is recommended that you present to Royal Inland Hospital as early as possible at which point RIH staff will assess you and your baby.
