The Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia (PANS), in partnership with the Government of Nova Scotia and Nova Scotia Health, is piloting new primary care clinics at select pharmacy locations. Clinics are located in areas with the highest number of people without a family doctor.
These clinics will provide an extended suite of pharmacy primary care services at no charge to people with a valid Nova Scotia Health Card.
These clinics are part of a study that will run until April 30, 2024. Please click here for a copy of the consent form you will need to complete in order to receive care at these clinics. Learn more about services offered, participating locations, and how to book online appointments below.
Is your health card expired or expiring soon? You can renew it here.
