Today, on World Family Doctor Day, we celebrate the extraordinary and unique role family physicians play in improving the health of our communities.

Family Physicians are often the first point of care and a constant presence throughout a person’s life — providing comprehensive and continuity of medical care when it matters most.

Their breadth of training enables them to see the full picture of a patient’s health, while their longstanding relationships offer a depth of understanding that cannot be replaced. They know their patients, understand their histories, and guide them through every stage of health and healing.

Family physicians bring together medical expertise and a commitment to whole-person care in a way that is foundational to a strong and effective health care system.

We are deeply grateful for the dedication of family physicians across Newfoundland and Labrador. Your impact is lasting, and your role in our health care system is truly irreplaceable.

As you may be aware - NLHS has switched to a new province-wide IT system called CorCare. Due to this transition, we are experiencing delays in receiving some lab and XRay results (since Saturday April 25th). We are told NLHS is working to resolve this quickly.

Happy anniversary to us!! 🎉🎈🎂

March 2026 is the TEN year anniversary of Wellness Family Practice. Can you believe it??

When Dr Colbourne and I started the clinic in 2016, we had the vision of a group practice where patients felt comfortable and well cared for, with family doctors who covered for each other, collaborated, and mentored the next generation of physicians. We were so fortunate to find not only each other, but Jennifer Veitch of Veitch Physiotherapy who had the same vision of collaborative holistic care in a beautiful modern space.

Over the years, we built the practice from scratch, piloted the province’s new electronic medical record, moved into a beautiful new building, expanded our team to FIVE amazing family docs (adding Drs Osborne, Lethbridge, Mercier and Jackman), hired the absolute best staff (Linda, Melina, Nancy our current rockstar crew), were supported by fantastic locums (especially Dr Peacock in recent years) and along the way collected 4000 patients. We became one of the largest, most stable family practices on the West Coast.

We also became one of the largest community teaching sites in the province - mentoring over 200 medical students and family medicine residents - many who have gone on to become our friends and colleagues.

With so many challenges in our healthcare system, I think it’s important to celebrate a ‘good news’ story in medicine. I’m very proud of what we have built and the work we continue to do everyday. Thank you for trusting us with your medical care for the last decade, and beyond.
