Role and Facility Information

This Medical Clinic is expanding, and we’re looking for forward-thinking Family Physicians to join our collaborative, wellness-oriented team as we prepare to open our brand new, custom-designed clinic in Lantzville.

We are currently operating from a temporary location while our new clinic, part of the newly constructed Coastline Station is completed. Come Fall 2026, the clinic will occupy the ground floor alongside Central Drugs Pharmacy and DRIP Coffee.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape a growing, Physician-championed clinic from the ground up, while leaning into your own interests, subspecialties, and preferred style of practice.

About the New Clinic

This Medical Clinic is a new family medicine clinic designed for modern practice. Thoughtfully planned exam rooms, collaborative physician spaces, and flexible workstations create an efficient environment that supports a variety of physician practice styles. The clinic will be newly built and professionally designed by a local Interior Design group (Studio AE) in a calming coastal style.
