Welcome to the White Rock-South Surrey Division of Family Practice

Your family doctor is your partner in health. Through the White Rock-South Surrey Division of Family Practice, local family doctors come together to improve the delivery of health care in our community.

Nearly every White Rock-South Surrey family doctor is a member of our Division. Together, we work to achieve positive changes that will benefit our patients. One of our most significant successes is being among the first regions in BC to ensure there is a regular family doctor for every resident who wants one. At the White Rock-South Surrey Division, we are committed to building a healthier community for all.

The Right Care, Right Place Project team has received a Fraser Health Above and Beyond Award (Best Collaboration category) for its work on the Use the ER Wisely campaign. The campaign aims to reduce congestion in emergency departments by educating patients about the various primary health care services available in their communities and where to go to receive the most appropriate care. “The treatment of non-emergency health concerns in a community setting helps strengthen the relationship between a person and their physician,” says Dr Grace Park, physician lead on the Right Care, Right Place team, which includes representatives from the White Rock- South Surrey Division, Fraser Health, and Peace Arch Hospital.

 

“We are thrilled to receive this award,” says Dr Park, “and we’re excited about how this  campaign has spread,”  she says, referencing the expansion of the campaign among other BC hospitals and divisions.  

 

The Above and Beyond Awards honour individuals and teams who go beyond the call of duty to achieve extraordinary results in everything from patient care to health care innovation. The Best Collaboration Award recognizes partnerships across disciplines that spark fresh insights that lead to transformational care.
