Family Practice consists of three dedicated units: 3600, which also contains the Palliative Care Unit; 4600, which also contains the Stroke Unit; and 5100 on the fifth floor that is dedicated solely to Family Practice.
Patients are admitted to Family Practice via the Emergency Department, through a referral from a physician, or at the request of a family physician. The majority of Family Practice patients are admitted due to chest pain.
The multidisciplinary Family Practice team includes physicians, nurses, licensed practical nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, among others.
The Family Practice and Geriatrics program is committed to achieving excellence in providing interdisciplinary care, comfort for patients and families with acute, chronic and rehabilitation and palliative care needs, emphasizing health promotion and patient advocacy in partnership with the patient, family and community.
