The Kitimat Haisla Primary Care Network (PCN) was developed through a collaborative partnership led by the Haisla Nation in collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Division of Family Practice, Northern Health, the First Nations Health Authority, and the BC Ministry of Health. The Haisla Nation includes the Kitamaat (x̄á’isl̓a) and Kitlope (Henaaksiala) peoples.

Enhancing patient attachment is a key focus of the Primary Care Network, recognizing the importance of strong, long-term relationships between patients and their primary care providers. By supporting consistent attachment to a regular care team, the PCN helps ensure patients across Kitimat and Haisla Nation receive coordinated, continuous care that is responsive to their individual needs. This approach promotes better health outcomes, improved continuity across the care journey, and a more trusted, accessible primary care experience for individuals, families, and the community.
