Primary Health Centre
The Primary Health Centre is located at Frontier Mall on North
Battleford’s east side. The Centre is home to three key services:
• Population Health Services (see previous section);
• Primary Health Services – North Battleford Medical Clinic; and
• Laboratory Service Centre
The PHC North Battleford Medical Clinic offers the services of seven
physicians and two registered nurse-nurse practitioners, all of whom
practice medicine under the primary care model. Services are available
by appointment: the service is not a walk-in clinic. The service has ready
access to the variety of health services available through Population
Health which is located at the same site. The emphasis is on appropriate
health care from appropriate health care providers.
The Laboratory Service Centre is another element located at the
Primary Health Centre. The PHC Lab is the main collection site in
The Battlefords for blood and other specimens ordered by physicians
from patients in the community. Electrocardiograph (ECG) service is
also located at the site.
