Support the South Island Primary Care Society
The South Island Primary Care Society (SIPC) is a local, community-focused organization that works to increase access to primary care in our region. They help keep clinics open, support new clinics, and help bring new family doctors and nurse practitioners to Greater Victoria.
They do essential work that directly benefits Saanich residents, and we fully support their efforts.
Current Fundraising Priority:
West Saanich Primary Care Expansion
The SIPC is currently running a fundraising campaign to enhance access to primary care in West Saanich.
Their immediate goal is to raise $125,000. This funding is essential for several key developments:
-
Supporting the transition of the society taking over the West Saanich Clinic.
-
Renovating the waiting area to increase charting space.
-
Opening up exam rooms to accommodate two new family doctors.
-
Enabling these two new doctors to attach net new patient panels.
-
Extending urgent care services to include evenings and weekends.
This initiative is a quick community win that will result in approximately 2,500 people in West Saanich gaining access to a family doctor.
