Your Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner has referred you to the Richmond Primary Care Network (PCN) for additional support with your health and well-being. This Richmond PCN referral is part of your ongoing care. We work in partnership with your Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner to support your health goals.

☀️ Our call may come from a Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) number

How PCN Services Work

  • Services are available by referral only
  • Appointments may be in person, by phone, or virtual
  • Contact timing may vary based on service needs and availability
  • After 3 booking attempts, we may close your referral if we are unable to reach you or if appointments are repeatedly missed, cancelled, or rescheduled

Please Attend Your Appointment

Your appointment time is reserved especially for you. Missing an appointment can delay your care and take time away from another patient who needs support. If you cannot attend, please contact us as early as possible to reschedule your appointment.
