Know your family doctor campaign

A campaign has been launched to encourage patients to ensure they know the name of their primary care provider and clinic.

The goal of the joint PCN-AHS campaign, which features a poster and social media posts, is to ensure patients can identify their family doctor, nurse practitioner or clinic when they need care outside the medical home — for example, when receiving hospital care.

Being able to correctly identify their provider or clinic ensures notes are shared, where possible, with the patient’s primary care provider — enhancing continuity of care.
