Hazelton
The communities that make up what is collectively known as the Upper Skeena, or 'the Hazeltons', are situated on the unceded traditional territory of the Gitxsan Nation. The Gitxsan people have lived on these lands for 10,000+ years. Some of the communities included in the Upper Skeena are the incorporated municipalities of Hazelton and New Hazelton, unincorporated settlements of South Hazelton, Two Mile, Suskwa Valley, Miskinish (Cedarvale), Kitwanga Valley, Andimal and the Kispiox Valley, and the 8 Indigenous villages of Witset, Gitanyow, Gitwangak, Gitsegukla, Hagwilget, Gitanmaax, Sik-e-dakh and Anspayaxw. The natural beauty of the land is central to the health and wellbeing of many of the Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who live on these unceded lands.
Practice Details:
Northern Health is seeking a Family Practitioner to provide part time or full time primary care services and on-call ER coverage in Hazelton, BC at Wrinch Memorial Hospital and Medical Clinic. Compensation is based on an Alternative Payment Plan.
The Wrinch Medical Staff provides full-scope care to the region and is made up of 10-12 Family Physicians filling 7.5 FTE, 1 GP-Anesthetist, 2 Nurse Practitioners, and 2 Registered Midwives who have an incredibly collaborative model of care.
In spring 2020, the Physicians and Nurse Practitioners implemented a Provider Partnership model wherein each part time GP was paired with another provider. Each provider is responsible for their own patient panel, however in their absence they are able to rely on their partner to help cover urgent cases and check in on critical results. Partners work together to ensure appropriate cross coverage for time off. This model has had a positive impact on clinic processes, continuity of care and access to care. The selected candidate for this position will be paired with an existing provider to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
Teaching is a time honored tradition in Hazelton. There is an ongoing rotation of Medical Students, Nurse Practitioner Students, Midwifery Students and Medical Residents. Many of our providers also do outreach clinics once a week in the outlying communities (Sik-e-dakh, Anxpayawx, Gitsegukla, Gitwangak, Gitanyow) at the on-reserve Health Stations. Learners will often be scheduled to accompany their preceptors for these clinics.
Wrinch Medical Clinic provides 11 exam rooms with full support staff including MOAs, specialist booking, billing and a clinic coordinator. Wrinch Memorial serves a population of 8000.
