In the meantime, the Family Health Team has a number of health care professionals who can help you manage your health. They include Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurse, Registered Dietitian, and Registered Social Worker.

Many programs/services are available to you even if you do not have a family physician or have a family physician outside of our area.

Members of our team provide individual appointments and group programming in targeted acute care, chronic disease management, health promotion and disease prevention for everyone.

We encourage you to contact our team to discuss how we may be able to assist you in managing your health either by coming in person to the Espanola & Area Family Health Team or calling 705.862.7991.

The Nurse Practitioners require a consulting physician for any patients they see. At this time that means that only those patients enrolled to a local physician may be seen by the Nurse Practitioners.
