Cowichan GP Referral Line 1-866-460-3649
Duncan, BC — Any Cowichan area resident who is looking for a family doctor can now be matched with one as a result of the successful implementation of the A GP for Me initiative. Since 2011, over four thousand patients in the Cowichan area have found a doctor, and going forward, any resident can call the GP Referral Line at 1-866-460-3649 to be connected to a doctor accepting patients.
The Cowichan Division of Family Practice, made up of 102 local family physicians, has worked with community partners to implement a number of initiatives through A GP for Me since the prototype began in 2011. A GP for Me is a province-wide initiative supported by the Government of BC and Doctors of BC. Its aim is to improve access to primary care and help more British Columbians who want a family doctor to find one. Other prototypes were located in Prince George and Surrey-White Rock, which also now have no waits for patients wanting a family doctor. Read the full press release
