Your Practice. Team-Based Support.

Independent practice does not have to mean practicing alone – and it certainly should not. We can help your patients navigate their complex health and social challenges.  

At SCHC, we recognize the unique pressures family physicians face. Our services are designed to complement your practice, support you to be part of a collaborative team, and strengthen patient care. 

Enhance your patients’ care by connecting them with a team of allied health professionals — all under one roof. You remain at the centre of care, with consultation notes provided after every visit to keep you fully informed. Available supports can include: nurses, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, and chiropodists. Plus, access to social care like transportation, meals, assisted living and caregiver support. 

Our interdisciplinary team helps your patients navigate community resources, provides dedicated education and counselling, and manages the administrative process for supports such as transportation assistance and food banks. This reduces your administrative load so you can focus on clinical care. 

By linking patients to SCHC services, you receive support in managing complex cases while your patients benefit from comprehensive, team-based care. This balance allows you to spend more time on meaningful clinical work — and reclaim time outside of practice. 

Our team can provide practical support for EMR integration and other digital tools, so you don’t have to manage these challenges alone.
