TO BE CLEAR, THE HCCT IS PRESENTLY TAKING A WAITLIST FOR NEW REFERRALS.  WE ARE STILL ONBOARDING NEW PATIENTS, BUT ARE DOING SO AS SPACE AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES BECOME AVAILABE. WE CANNOT, UNFORTUNATELY,  DELIVER CARE TO PATIENTS ON OUR WAITLIST AS ADEQUATE HISTORY IS NOT AVAILABLE WHICH CREATES A RISK FOR UNSAFE CARE. FOR ACCEPTED PATIENTS, CARE BEGINS AT THE DATE OF THE FIRST INTAKE VISIT.


"A Team Based, Patient Medical Home"

The High Complexity Care Team (HCCT) is an innovative program of the Western Communities Primary Care Network (PCN). It has been formed in partnership with Island Health, the Ministry of Health and the South Island Division of Family Practice. The team consists of multi-disciplinary professionals dedicated to serving patients with complex health needs in the Esquimalt, Westshore and Sooke areas. We accept patients of all ages who meet our referral criteria. Health care professionals and clinic or hospital administrators may refer new patients using the form below. We also accept consultations from other family physicians.
