Healthy Neighbourhoods
The Burnaby Primary Care Networks is a three-way partnership (physicians, community, health authority) that builds from the work of the Local Leadership Tables at a neighbourhood level — ensuring a grassroots approach so that the Burnaby PCN is tailored to the local community.
The Burnaby Primary Care Networks is centred on health and wellness. We believe that addressing the social determinants of health are key in the development of Healthy Neighbourhoods. We have formed three Local Local Leadership Tables (LLTs) that are the foundation of how we are building Healthy Neighbourhoods in Burnaby. The three LLT’s comprise of Family Physicians and community service providers that work in collaboration and are creating two way communication regarding available medical and social supports and work to develop and determine priorities and set goals for each of the Healthy Neighbourhood communities.
What is a Local Leadership Table?
Local Leadership Tables (LLT) plan and oversee the work of the neighbourhood PCNs. Our membership is comprised of community-based physicians, Fraser Health leaders and local community-based organizations. We work in partnership to collaboratively define the needs and opportunities within our neighbourhood, make clear recommendations to the PCN Steering Committee regarding selection and allocation of resources to support their local PCN, and ensure that our PCN plans are implemented and operate effectively.
Centres for Healthy Communities
The PCN Centre(s) for Healthy Communities (CfHC) are an important component to improving access to primary care services in Burnaby for individuals or families who do not have a Family Physician. Using a team-based approach of Primary Care Providers, patients will access resources and practitioners from Fraser Health Authority, the Burnaby Division of Family Practice, and from PCN partnered community agencies to receive improved life-long health care.
Our new Teaching and Mentoring Clinics (Incubator Clinics), will prioritize care for people who may have experienced challenges when trying to find a Family Physician such as immigrants and refugees, seniors or individuals who are isolated, children and families, people with mental health challenges, people without permanent housing or people who use substances.
