HEALTH CARE BASICS | Family medicine + MENTAL HEALTH Support
Providing the most fundamental of healthcare services
Family medicine + Mental health support
Many individuals have extremely limited access to both family medicine and mental health services. For those that do have coverage for clinical counselling, chances are they require longer term access than what is covered by their insurance provider. The Health Care Basics membership aims to provide the most fundamental healthcare services to residents of Victoria, BC and its surrounding communities.
Members of the Health Care Basics waitlist will be contacted via email to complete their sign-up. Once attached to a Family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner, individuals will have convenient access to our online booking systems and will be able to book with any of our Clinical Counsellors. Coordinated care between a Primary Care Provider and a Registered Clinical Counsellor can be integral to an individual's recovery.
