Clinic update from Dr Armogam:

Dear North Island patients,

While changes with health care in our region and issues around access to medical services across the region and province continue, I wanted to update you on a few changes with our clinic which will take effect from the start of June.

There have been renovations, and we can now accommodate other family doctors and specialists. You will continue to have access to the clinic nurse and foot care as well as all the community services including social work, mental, health, dietitian, diabetes educator, OT, physiotherapy, and the home support team.

New health ministry guidelines for patient attachment have informed some changes. Doctors and patients tend to value the established professional relationship that they have. This is now more of a standard where patients need to identify a family practitioner for their care as part of an attachment process and longitudinal care. With issues across the region, your wait time could be weeks. If this still meets your expectations for non-urgent family practice issues, we are pleased to continue with your care and are accepting new patients. As you may know, there are new clinics in Port Hardy and Port McNeill as an alternative and while ER access remains problematic it is available for urgent medical issues.

The clinic nurse will continue to be available to you for things like injections, ear flushes, suture removal, etc, and will also be involved in your chronic disease management like hypertension, COPD and diabetes but will be limited on usual clinic appointments that you would usually see the doctor for.

Please stay on top of your prescription renewals as there will be some changes to the process on how these are refilled.

We do not expect changes to the schedules or care to Woss.

Zeballos and Wuikinuxv (Rivers) community visits are tenuous according to recent health ministry decisions but will continue for now.

I do have a contract to continue providing care to Sointula but am unable to comment on the change in the care delivery there. Irrespective of which community you’re in, we remain committed to providing care to you and your family despite the changes and regional challenges.

PORT MCNEILL MEDICAL COLLABOATIVE

We are growing again!

Thank you for the ongoing support.

We continue to provide primary care clinic services at our new location at #3-1584 Broughton Blvd (beside Harbourside pharmacy). Dr Armogam is the only remaining doctor at what was the Port McNeill Medical Clinic and we have recruited a new doctor who will be arriving in July. We are also excited to have a full time nurse join the practice. This will open up more availability for appointments and care with much shorter wait times.

WE WILL BE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS from the region and will continue to provide longitudinal care to you and your family.

We continue to retain all medical records from the practice and are pleased to continue to provide care to our patients.

For those wishing to permanently transfer your care to the new clinic located at the previous Port McNeill Medical Clinic site, we are happy to facilitate a chart transfer.

**YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS**
Dear Patients, I have sent out recent messaging regarding the medical care in Port McNeill and that we now have 2 clinics in town, one is the newly opened Island Health clinic and the other is the previous clinic now located next to the library.
When I announced that I was going to close my practice, many of you had asked for chart transfers to the Island Health Clinic. As I am now going to keep my practice open many of you have told me that you no longer want your care or charts transferred.
Today, I have been instructed by Island Health to transfer all charts from the requests that were previously made and therefore need patients to clarify what they would like to do.
Please notify me by email to enquiries@pmprimarycare.com to confirm one of the following
- no chart transfer and remain a patient of my clinic
- send chart information so you may access episodic care at the
Island Health Clinic,
- complete a whole chart transfer and full care to the Island
Health Clinic
OR you can send an email directly to Island Health by email info@islandhealth.ca to advise that you no longer want your chart transferred.
We continue to be a full service family practice clinic with access to team based care including access to a Registered Nurse and Social Worker. As your family doctor I will continue to provide longitudinal care to all my patients as I have done for the past 15 years.
Thank you
Dr. Prean Armogam
