Our Primary Team provides in community services to patients in all areas of the life cycle including assessments and physical exams, medication prescribing and monitoring, chronic disease care, pre and post-natal education and care, children's growth and development, acute medical care, health promotion, vaccinations, nutrition, men's and women's age and disease specific health screening, elders’ health, , and coordination to specialized health services outside of community.
Our Primary Care is complimented by the Tele-health program, which provides video teleconferencing ability for patients to meet with professionals while they are in their home community. Using this technology ensures a continuity of care for clients, and timely medical interventions and treatments.

YU BE-YAH CLINIC
Carrier Sekani Family Services has recently opened up a clinic in Prince George called ‘Yu Be-yah’ which means Medicine House in Carrier language. The clinic was created to meet the primary care needs of Indigenous peoples living in Prince George who do not have a primary care provider. Yu Be-Yah is staffed by two family nurse practitioners that provide comprehensive clinical care including the diagnosis and management of disease/illness, prescribing medications, ordering/interpreting laboratory/diagnostic tests, and initiating referrals to specialists.
If you are living in Prince George and would like to be a patient of the Yu Be-yah clinic, please come visit us at 970 4th Avenue or call (250) 564-5414.
