A Community Health Centre (CHC) is a non-profit, publicly funded organization that provides primary health care from a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, registered dietitians, social workers and community health workers. The multidisciplinary team ensures the patient gets the right care, at the right time, delivered by the most appropriate provider. The focus of a CHC is on health promotion, illness prevention, and community development.
Langs works with a shared model of care. As a new patient you will be assigned to a team that includes a physician and nurse practitioner. We work very hard to ensure our patients sees the most appropriate provider to deal with their health concerns. This means that sometimes you may see your Physician/Nurse Practitioner, or another Physician/Nurse Practitioner who has available time in their schedule. Choosing to see only the Physician is not an option. If your condition can be managed by another provider, that is who you will be scheduled to see.
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced university education who provides personalized, quality health care to patients. Ontario nurse practitioners provide a full range of health care services to individuals, families and communities in a variety of settings including hospitals and community based clinics in cities and smaller towns in Ontario. They work in partnership with physicians, nurses and other health care professionals such as social workers, midwives, mental health professionals and pharmacists to keep you, your family and your community well.
NPs have the competency to diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe all medications, and perform medical procedures. They work with individuals and families to manage illness or chronic conditions, prevent illness through health screening, and promote wellness through education and community resources. In essence, NPs bring together the medical knowledge needed to diagnose and treat illnesses with the values and skills of nursing.
