Your Health Care Options
Primary Care
Horizon is improving access to primary care in New Brunswick
Over the next five years, all New Brunswickers in areas served by Horizon will be matched with a Family Health Team – a group of health care professionals working together to meet your needs.
If you don’t have a primary care provider, register for NB Health Link. You’ll be contacted when a Family Health Team is established in your area and have access to appointments with an NB Health link doctor or nurse practitioner in the meantime.
Already have a provider? No need to take any action – you’ll continue to receive the same care as usual. Over time, we’ll introduce improvements to ensure you have access to the services provided by a Family Health Team.
Book an appointment with your primary care provider for:
-
Most medical issues
-
Periodic health exams if you know you are at a higher risk for a specific medical condition
-
Chronic illnesses
-
Mental health issues
-
Referrals to specialists
