As well, the RS NP Clinic ensures enhanced capacity for their care team to work in a positive, hopeful environment which provides their clients and themselves with the opportunity to optimize health, quality of life, and well-being.  

The RS NP Clinic supports the following professional objectives:  increase the proportion of clients with ready access to primary care in a community setting; provide coordinated and increased access to appropriate primary care services; increase the emphasis on health promotion, disease and injury prevention, and care of the medically complex client who is considering or requiring enhanced support; improve coordination and integration with other health and community care services to enhance and better support the primary care client throughout their care trajectory; and facilitate the greater use of interdisciplinary teams to provide comprehensive care.  

The RS NP Clinic is a private clinic which aims to roster a panel of diverse clients with varied concerns.  We, along with our clients, have a commitment to prevention, optimizing health and achieving wellness.  

The RS NP Clinic aims to be a leader in the provision of primary care through collaboration, innovation, and teamwork, creating healthy clients and satisfied health care providers.
