**Role and Facility Information**:
Cowichan Collaborative Health (CCH) is seeking a Family Physician. The CCH is a new multi-disciplinary primary care clinic in the City of Duncan, BC with over 4000 square feet of customizable modern medical office space. The clinic has Family Physicians, a Licensed Practical Nurse, a Pediatrician, Social Worker and a visiting clinical Pharmacist. The space has 14 exam rooms, one common treatment/procedure room and a room for allied health. There is also a large lunchroom/lounge space. Each full-time family physician will have access to two exam room/offices to enhance efficiency. There is lab and pharmacy on the premises. The clinic uses Med Access EMR, has full billing support and is fully paperless.

For Family Physicians we will be offering a very favourable overhead split structure under the LFP payment model or FFS model (25% overhead) with no expectation of business ownership or hassle. Primary care providers can start out providing overflow care to existing clinic patients and then develop their own panel or can start building their own panel immediately if they so choose.

The patient population in Duncan is diverse. There is also a high need for supporting the large Indigenous population in the Cowichan region. CCH is located just a few blocks away from the current Cowichan District Hospital where there are numerous specialty services available including medical imaging. The clinic is also within few blocks of a new modern inpatient hospice facility.

If interested, hospital inpatient rounding, maternity care, surgical assist, LTC, and non-acute ER care is available. This is not a requirement.

The clinic structure has incorporated compassionate leadership elements to support high quality clinical care for patients and joy in work for providers.

Vision Statement:
To be a leading model of collaborative healthcare, where care providers across disciplines unite to deliver high-quality, compassionate care, while cultivating a supportive environment that inspires joy and fulfillment in both patients and practitioners.

Mission Statement:
At Cowichan Collaborative Health, our mission is to attract and empower a diverse team of care providers and support staff to deliver high-quality, team-based care. We are committed to fostering a culture of compassionate leadership, collaboration, and innovation, ensuring both patients and professionals experience excellence and satisfaction in healthcare.

Start Date: As soon as possible.

Community Information:
Cowichan and the City of Duncan are nestled between the urban centers of Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, BC. Cowichan has the most temperate climate in Canada along with incredible outdoor recreation opportunities including hiking, golfing, boating, fishing and biking. The region is peppered with vineyards and farm to table food providers. There are also incredible school opportunities both public and private. A new state of the art 204 bed community hospital is slated to open its doors in early 2027.
