Health Teams
At CVFP, patients have access to integrated and comprehensive care delivered by 5 health teams - Gold, Silver, Green, Yellow and Blue. These teams include Family Doctors, specialty health providers like Pharmacists, Registered Nurses and Medical Office Assistants.
Communication is critical so our Health Teams “huddle” every morning before patients arrive to look at and discuss the day ahead. The huddle gives teams the opportunity to plan daily tasks and roles, and optimize well-coordinated patient care.
Registered Nurses
CVFP Registered Nurses work with your doctor as part of your integrated Health Team. They may be part of your CVFP in-person appointment, and they may also call you to review results, complete health teaching or talk to you about symptoms you have.
Our Triage Nurse team sees patients in clinic for various procedures and injections, as well as calls patients who are experiencing certain symptoms.
Preventative Care
“Seeing your CVFP doctor for targeted preventive screening is important. This does not necessarily mean doing annual physicals with tests. We believe that preventive care to improve overall health should be personalized and involve shared decision-making between you and your CVFP health team.”
Dr. Rick Ward, CVFP Family Physician
The Power of Patient Stories
We are privileged to share the experiences of our CVFP patients, as told in their own words.
Patient stories offer valuable insights that go beyond statistics and outcomes: they have the power to inspire, humanize, compel action and challenge assumptions.
