Nurse Practitioners

Yes. A NP can be your primary care provider – the person you see to receive most of your health care.

NPs have access to many resources to support working in partnership with clients for the treatment and management of their health care needs, whether acute or chronic. NPs work in collaboration and consultation with physicians and other health-care providers and can be found working in a variety of settings, including primary care clinics and personal care homes.

Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) employs 19 NPs. NPs are currently based in Baldur, Birtle, Boissevain, Carberry, Erickson, Glenboro, Grandview, Melita, Minnedosa, Roblin, Rossburn, Ste. Rose du Lac, Swan River, Wawanesa and the 7th Street Health Access Centre in Brandon.

NPs also provide service on the PMH Mobile Clinic, which has been seeing patients in the region since February 2014. More information on the Mobile Clinic or how to book an appointment with an NP on the Mobile Clinic.

Call any NP office or Family Doctor Finder, where you will be connected with a primary care provider (including Physicians or NPs).

The Nurse Practitioner Education Grant (NPEG) competition opens each fall. Interested students/new NPs can learn more about the timing and requirements by checking on the Manitoba Student Aid (MSA) website.

PMH also works closely with universities to support education of NP students, with practicing NPs mentoring these students during their practicum placements.

Many of our NPs and students have benefitted from grants, scholarships, and bursaries available to NP students. Local community foundations have also supported NP students. This is an important source of support and a good return on investment for communities to consider.

NP services in the region have been growing and evolving during the last decade. PMH is a leader in Manitoba, and the region will continue incorporating NPs into the health care team.
