The CSFS Primary Care program provides our community members with basic day-to-day care provided by health professionals, including family doctors, nurse practitioners, public health nurses, pharmacists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, etc.
CSFS has a group of dedicated Physicians and Nurse Practitioners who service our communities through a holistic approach to care, meeting a wide variety of needs. We provide medical services through an Indigenous lens, and also provide numerous culture centred programs and services to complement our Primary Care medical services. Our doctors, Nurse Practitioners and other primary care health staff receive training on culturally relevant approaches to health care to ensure that our patients receive health services that meet their unique needs.
One of our new CSFS Departments is Health Promotion and Physical Activity. We are excited to work with Community to provide physical activity, fitness, and sports programming to individuals, families and groups. To find out more about how physical activity can improve your overall health, or to learn more about our physical wellness community programs, please contact our Physical Literacy Coordinator, Dana Thorne at 672-983-7877 or email, dthorne@csfs.org.
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.
We offer Primary Care medical services in Takla, Yekooche, Nadleh, Saik'uz, Stellat'en, Nee Tahi Buhn, Cheslatta, Skin Tyee, Burns Lake Band, Wet'suwet'en and in Prince George.
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 meets 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.
Our waitlist is full at this time, to inquire please contact Yu Be-yah clinic at (250) 564-5414 or visit us at 970 4th Avenue.
Registered Nurses provide preventative holistic health & wellness services and education in our member nation communities on regularly scheduled days and times. Nurses at Carrier Sekani Family Services collaborate with Physicians, Specialists and Community Health Representatives, Home Care as well as other allied health professionals to ensure an integrated approach to wellness for our community members. Some of our services include pre and post-natal education and care, immunization programs for infants and children, health education to meet the changing healthcare needs in each community, men's and women's wellness clinics, and regular home visits to elders to assess their changing needs and provide ongoing support.
