Cumberland Village Health Care is a community-led, team-based medical practice established and operated by the not-for-profit Beaufort Family Health Society (BFHS). The BFHS (“the Society”) was formed in Spring 2022 with the mandate to open and operate an interdisciplinary family health clinic, Cumberland Village Health Care, in Cumberland BC.

Our Vision: Cumberland and surrounding communities are connected to integrated, comprehensive primary health care.

Our Mission: We exist to create a sustainable network of community-focused healthcare providers that deliver optimal patient care.

Our Values: Respect, Compassion, Collaboration, Impact, Resilience

The Society is seeking Primary Care Providers to build out a supportive, inclusive, longitudinal family care clinic. This is an excellent opportunity for practitioners to influence the clinic design and operations.

Our practice will consist of six Family Physicians and/or Nurse Practitioners, and as a Primary Care Network (PCN) clinic, will also have several Allied Health providers working alongside our primary care providers.

The clinic is a recently constructed (2020) medical clinic with spacious, light, modern exam rooms. The clinic is co-located with a multidisciplinary physiotherapy/chiropractic/wellness centre and a pharmacy.

Additional services: 
Clinically related teaching and research.

LTC - To be determined based on practitioner availability and interest. Not in-hospital. Occasional home visits (e.g., palliative patients).
