Primary Care Network Opportunity

Kootenay Boundary (KB) is an early adopter of the Primary Care Network (PCN) approach, with teams of FPs, NPs, RNs, Allied Health, Aboriginal Health Coordinators and other clinical staff working together to increase patient attachment and improve patient care, access, and cultural safety in clinics across the region. To date, 30+ PCN staff have already been hired into the PCN and provide about 5,000 patient encounters per quarter, and more hires are underway. The KB PCN is based on a co-location model, building teams within existing primary care clinics. A learning culture approach, fostered through the KB PCN Learning Lab, links all PCN partners and encourages innovation, collective learning and the spreading of successes.

Community

Step back in time and visit an era of early Canadian charm. A thriving mining town in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Greenwood is still a thriving city today. The history draws many people to Greenwood, with more than 60 heritage buildings that paint the landscape, each with its own story. With abundant lakes, rivers and parks, Greenwood offers fun year-round and fascinating Japanese history that you will want to discover in the fantastic Museum. The Boundary country is a thriving rural region with outstanding opportunities for world-class outdoor recreation and adventures, cycling, skiing, and camping, as well as a thriving restaurant and retail sector.
