Overview
Sorrento is the town centre of a rural community in the South Shuswap of British Columbia. The area is home to 10,000 residents, many of whom are unattached to a physician, with population numbers doubling in the summer months as cottagers return and tourists visit Shuswap Lake. The community health centre provides primary care and was established in 2013 with the recruitment of a Nurse Practitioner. It has since expanded to 2 NPs, three examination rooms, and a full-time Medical Office Assistant, with room to grow. Preplanning is required to review space availability and requirements for establishing a practice in the centre. The community health centre is the epicentre of local care, supported by multiple providers and the Shuswap General Hospital (25 minutes away in Salmon Arm). The Shuswap North Okanagan Division of Family Practice supports new physicians moving to the area. The rural community offers a dynamic living environment for families and retirees, with a range of leisure activities and a strong community spirit. We are seeking a family physician to augment the services we currently provide.
