Family physicians working together to improve health care.
Call PAM
(Patient Attachment Mechanism)
From Chilliwack to Boston Bar, any com-
munity member without a family doctor
or nurse practitioner who wants one can
just “Call PAM”. Depending on where you
live, you may be directly matched to a
family doctor or nurse practitioner in your
community, or attached to the Chilliwack
Primary Care Clinic (CPCC) where you will
receive care until you are ready for transi-
tion to a community family practice. Some
patients with complex conditions may
continue to receive ongoing services from
the CPCC. Call 604-795-0034, or toll-free at
1-844-795-0034, to start the process today!
Primary Care Seniors Clinic
The Primary Care Seniors Clinic is accessed
through a referral from your family doctor.
It offers assessment, diagnosis and indi-
vidualized care planning for patients with
dementia concerns or multiple chronic
conditions and complex health issues. A
team of health care professionals including
primary care doctors, a nurse specializing
in seniors care, a geriatrician and geriatric
psychiatrist work alongside patients, their
family members and family doctors to en-
sure seniors are supported in their ongo-
ing health needs.
Residential Care Program
For the best care of the frail elderly, spe-
cifically those in residential care, family
doctors have a pivotal role in defining, sup-
porting and leading quality of care. This
includes complex patients whose health
challenges impact cognition and behav-
ior, and those that have chronic, long-term
disease impacts. The Residential Care Pro-
gram allows family doctors the ability to
provide an effective and efficient method
for the delivery of comprehensive and high
quality care to patients. Residential care
remains an important part of full service
family practice and the Chilliwack Division
remains committed to assisting in the pro-
vision of that care.
The Chilliwack Division of Family Practice is a non-profit society that represents
family doctors and nurse practitioners in Chilliwack, Agassiz-Harrison, Seabird
Island and Hope. Here are some of the initiatives the Chilliwack Division is
working on to help improve primary health care in our communities.
