Here is something to get excited about! 🎉

"Did you know, we have a grant program to support new family medical offices that provides $30,000 used for medical equipment, construction costs, etc. to open new family doc practices. This is one way we support providing more family doctor practices in our region. Like Thrive Family Health that just opened their doors in Nanaimo and their grant supported treatment beds in their brand new facility. Congratulations to the incredible team of doctors at Thrive Family Health. Reach out to info@nanaimodivision.ca to learn more about the grant program for family practices."
