Shared Care - Partners for patients

Description: To create opportunities for family physicians and specialists to collaborate and directly apply their expertise and experience to specific issues in the health system. Gaps in communication between hospital and community-based physicians, and family doctors and specialists, can impede the flow of care, resulting in a fragmented health care experience for patients, families and providers. Shared Care initiatives bridge those gaps, with the goal of providing a coordinated health care experience. Please contact Margot Wilson at PHCSharedCare@providencehealth.bc.ca for more details.
