Nurse Practitioner Services are offered on Manitoulin and in Espanola
Service providers are caring and committed to providing primary health care for individuals of all ages and families living on and off the seven First Nations communities of the Manitoulin Island District and Espanola. Focusing on health rather than illness, the approach of the Primary Care Team is to support and promote the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle through sound medical practices and encouraging clients to take ownership of their health in partnership with their providers.
