Family Doctor
Register for a Family Physician
The Division is no longer accepting new patients for registration on Fetch, our patient wailist for a family physician.
All new patients must register on Health Connect, the provincial government waitlist for family doctors in BC. Please see the link above.
If you are already registered on Fetch you will be contacted when a family physician becomes available; you will not lose your place on the waitlist.
