Vancouver Primary Care Networks (PCNs)

What is a PCN?

A Primary Care Network (PCN) is a clinical network of providers in a geographic area where patients receive expanded, culturally safe, comprehensive care and improved access to primary care. Requiring a strong foundation of Patient Medical Homes (PMHs), PCNs are designed to wrap services around patients and create a new system for introducing more integrated, team-based care into primary care in the community. The Vancouver Divisions of Family Practice and Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) are working together to implement the 6 geographically-based PCNs in Vancouver (see map below).

The First Nations and Aboriginal PCN is a unique and exciting collaboration of the First Nations and Aboriginal primary care clinics in greater Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast in the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish Nations and Tla’amin Nation, working to support Indigenous care needs in the communities they support.
