The Penticton UPCC consists of family physicians (FPs), nurse practitioners (NPs), registered nurse team lead, primary care registered nurses (RNs), social workers (SWs), medical office assistants (MOAs), and a dedicated operational manager.

The Penticton UPCC focuses on members of the general population with non-life threatening illnesses or injuries who need access to same-day care, including those who are unattached, both those that are on the Patient Attachment List (PAL) actively awaiting attachment in the South Okanagan and those not yet on the PAL.

Urgent primary care services will be available to the public: Monday to Friday - 17:00 to 20:00, Saturday, Sunday and statutory holidays – 12:00 to 18:00

At our UPCC, you are invited to redefine what it means to be a dedicated physician. Our flexible model allows you to tailor your hours to complement your existing practice or personal commitments. One of the key goals at the Penticton UPCC is to meet people where they are at. We have the right team based care culture at the right place!
