Role and Facility Information

The Pender Harbour Health Centre (PHHC) in Madeira Park is located on the beautiful unceded territories of the shishalh Nation on the Sunshine Coast BC. The PHHC is the Sunshine Coast’s only Community Health Centre (CHC). We are a non-profit community led organization that has provided access to health and wellness support to residents of Pender Harbour and surrounding communities for 48 years. We are proud to offer a multidisciplinary team approach and have a team that consists of a physician, nurses, social workers, a dietician, community engagement workers and program coordinators. In conjunction with providing physician services, we have long term funding to provide an Ambulatory Care Clinic (ACU), home care nursing and palliative care support. Through other agreements we offer a specialized nurse-led Chronic Disease Management (CDM) and Diabetes Clinics. We also partner with Vancouver Coastal Health to provide access to their public health and home care teams and mental health providers at the PHHC.

The PHHC is looking to welcome a New to Practice physician onto our team to increase access and attachment for our patients and deliver high quality primary care. At the PHHC you can combine longitudinal care with specialty focused care. Further you can also spend time supporting the Sechelt Hospital ER or providing inpatient care, all of which allow for a diverse and interesting scope of practice. The PHHC offers a supportive team-based care environment with a strong focus on work life balance. Our community has an abundance of lakes, trails and ocean access to explore and enjoy along with a strong community spirit. In Pender Harbour you get that small town feel with the convenience of being a short ferry ride from Vancouver.

Come join our team and help make a difference to health and wellness in Pender Harbour. The PHHC looks forward to hearing from you.

Collectively with Garden Bay, Kleindale and Irvine’s Landing, the community of Madeira Park comprises an area known as Pender Harbour on the Sunshine Coast in southwestern British Columbia. Pender Harbour is the largest of the three primary Sunshine Coast communities, with Madeira Park serving as the business centre for the area. Pender Harbour is sometimes referred to as “Venice of the North,” because of its complex maze of islands, coves, lakes and reefs which are enjoyed by artists, photographers, hikers, canoers, kayakers and golfers alike.
