Benefits of Nurse Practitioners in Primary Care Teams

Rideau Community Health Services is a Community Health Centre in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville region that provides primary care for rostered clients. Primary care is provided by both nurse practitioners (NPs) and physicians who work in a collaborative team environment. Like physicians, our nurse practitioners diagnose, order tests, consult with specialists, and provide ongoing and coordinated care to their clients. Our nurse practitioners help us to deliver comprehensive, accessible, and person-centered care to people of all ages and stages of life.

RCHS Land Acknowledgment

We respectfully acknowledge the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg Nation, which was never ceded or legally signed away to the Crown or to Canada.

I invite all of us to reflect on the territories in which we have the privilege to live, work and play on and commit ourselves to gaining knowledge, forging a new, culturally safe relationship, and contributing to reconciliation. We recognize that First Nations, Métis, and Inuit are traditional cultures of knowledge sharing and we understand we have a lot to learn. Learning is the spirit in which we come together.
