Primary Health Centre - Family Physician

Primary Health Centre - Family Physician

• Delisle Primary Health Centre is a well established practice, providing primary, chronic disease management and small procedures to a diverse, sub-urban community.
• Fee for service family physicians work in collaboration with Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) team members including a full time nurse practitioner, administrative support, part-time on-site lab services (specimen collection and ECG). A pharmacy, private practice chiropractic and physical therapist are also located on site and contribute to seamless, interdisciplinary care to this community.
• Part-time and/or full-time family physicians can share accountability to provide services weekdays.
• Delisle Primary Health Centre is a ‘turn key’ operation. The SHA is accountable for the building operations and administration using Med Access for clinical documentation. The contribution to overhead is low and intended to support the establishment of an evolving, growing family practice.
• There are no other family physician practices in this catchment area and the Delisle practice receives requests for new patients routinely. There is significant opportunity to expand this practice to include pre-natal and obstetrics or other special interests. Population demographics and further information including a business plan is available on request.
• Delisle is a rural community approximately 30 minutes on a newly twinned highway from Saskatoon. This is a growing community with a blend of young families and older adults.
• The Delisle Primary Health Centre building is owned by the Delisle and District Health Council. They actively support the Health Centre, and partner with the SHA to promote programs and support access to services.
