Strategi för hantering av covid-19

The Burnaby PCN COVID-19 Response Strategy is a COVID-19 system that continues to support the community through the crisis, addressing physical and mental health as well as social needs. The PCN partners — the community including the City, and the community agencies, the Burnaby Inter-Agency Council, the Burnaby Division of Family Practice and Fraser Health — continue to work together to respond to both medical and social support needs.

The now-closed COVID-19 Testing Site and Primary Care Clinic was an extension of the Edmonds Urgent and Primary Care Centre. The site was in operation from March 28, 2020 to April 18, 2021and accepted referrals from a secure online booking form, from family doctors and from community agencies.

Här erbjöds covid-19-testning, influensavaccination och klinisk bedömning samt två fullt utrustade undersökningsrum för primärvårdsbesök. På kliniken arbetade en familjeläkare, sjuksköterskor, MOA:er, kliniska koordinatorer och platsnavigatörer. Det fungerade också som en av fyra utsedda testplatser för vårdpersonal i Fraser-regionen. Central Park var en generös donation från staden Burnaby och utformades och utvecklades av PCN-partnerna - Burnaby Division of Family Practice, Fraser Health och staden Burnaby - som delade på start- och driftskostnaderna.

As of April 19, 2021, COVID-19 testing in Burnaby is now being conducted by Fraser Health out of a larger site, based at British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Burnaby campus. A new COVID-19 immunization clinic was also opened at Fortius on April 5, 2021.
