Cape Breton Newcomer Primary Care Clinic

Nova Scotia Health and Cape Breton University have partnered to create a primary health care clinic for newcomers in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM).

The clinic provides timely access to safe and culturally sensitive care for those without a permanent primary care provider (physician or nurse practitioner).
 
This clinic is for residents of all ages who are:

• New to Canada within the last five years
• Living in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality
• Without a primary care provider 

How do I access this service?

To book an appointment, a referral is required from the following partners:

• Cape Breton Island Centre for Immigration
• YREACH Settlement Services – YMCA
• Cape Breton Victoria Regional Centre for Education

To obtain a referral, please reach out directly to these community partners. Once the clinic receives the referral, patients will be contacted with an appointment time.

Patients are not required to register with the Need a Family Practice Registry.
