People in Sooke will soon have better access to primary care, with the expansion of team-based care in the West Coast Family Medical Clinic.
The provincial government will provide more than $1 million annually to support team-based care at the primary care clinic through the recruitment of two general practitioners, one nurse practitioner and two registered nurses, who will join the existing team.
Renovations to expand the clinic into adjacent offices will begin after June 2019. In the interim, the clinic will gradually add new health-care team members.
The West Coast Family Medical Clinic, located 6660 Sooke Rd is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
