— FAMILY MEDICINE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST

A medical home,

for a whole life.

Seaside Clinic is a longitudinal family practice in ch’atlich (Sechelt) — care that grows with you across the years, attends to the whole person, and stays rooted in this place.

— Partners in Health

“We see the whole of you, and we stay.”

Health care provided by the same family doctor over time leads to more satisfied patients and better health care. As your family doctor, it’s my job to provide you with medical care, maintain your medical record, and coordinate referrals to other health care providers when they are needed.

As my patient, your role in your own health care is to try to see me and my team first for your health care needs, since we know your health history and goals. This helps avoid duplicate tests, medication errors and even hospitalizations. Ultimately, it helps me provide you with better, safer care.

— OUR PROMISE TO YOU

As your family doctor, my team, and I agree to:

•  Provide you with the best care that I can

•    Coordinate any specialty care you may need

•    Offer you timely access to care, to the best of my ability

•    Maintain an ongoing record of your health

•    Keep you updated on any changes to services offered at my clinic

•    Communicate with you honestly and openly so we can best address your health care needs

— YOUR PROMISE TO US

As my patient, I ask that you:

    Seek your health care from me and my team whenever possible and, in my absence, through my colleague(s)

•    Name me as your family doctor if you have to visit an emergency facility or another provider

•    Communicate with me honestly and openly so we can best address your health care needs

— OUR VISION

Care that knows you over time.

Good primary care isn’t a single visit — it’s a relationship. At Seaside, you have a family physician and a team who come to know your history, your context, and what matters to you, so that care is continuous rather than fragmented.

We practise whole-person medicine: body, mind, and the life you’re actually living. And we’re building deliberately — a clinic designed to stay humane for both the people we care for and the people who do the caring.
