NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

If you have a form you need a Practitioner to complete, please book an appointment and bring your form to the clinic in advance of the appointment (if possible). The form should be filled out as completely as possible and authorizations signed before being dropped off as this will save time in the appointment and help to avoid delays in form completion. Please note that depending on the form it may take up to 30 days to be completed. We appreciate your patience as we receive a large volume of forms at our clinic.

We continue to limit the amount of patients coming through the clinic for safety.  As such, you may be asked to book a  telephone appointment with your practitioner.  The front desk will be asking additional questions to determine if your appointment can be done via telephone consult.  

Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment unless otherwise asked. Please come alone unless otherwise necessary

No show fees are charged at $30 at the discretion of the practitioner. The FW Green Clinic donates one third of the fee to a deserving organization. This year's no show fees will be donated to the Foundry East Kootenay, which is part of Foundry BC, a province-wide network of integrated and inclusive health and social services for youth aged 12-24 and their caregivers. Core services include physical health, mental health, substance use support, social services, peer support, and e-health services. By bringing together a spectrum of health and social services under one roof and working in partnership with young people and families, Foundry helps young people get the help they need when they need it. Check out their website at https://www.ekfh.ca/foundry-east-kootenay/ for more information.

A Primary Care Network (or PCN) is a group of health care providers working closely together within a community to improve overall care for patients in that community. As part of the PCN, during your appointment with your Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner, you may see a Nurse, Social Worker, Pharmacist or other care team member who is an employee of the Primary Care Network. By expanding our team to include Health Authority employees we will increase access to health care services and improve the quality of care you receive.
