The Family Health Team's mission is to increase

the level of collaborative patient care and

improve the management of health and social

well being of persons in our communities. The

NSFHT aims to provide ongoing health

promotions and illness strategies in coordination

with other health care services.

The team recently developed the provincially

recognized "Passport to Health" booklet, which

is a medical journal for patients to keep updated

with their pertinent medical information. The

team has designated health assessment days

Front Desk at J.E. Stokes Medical Centre

that patients may have one-to-one consultations with the Nurse or Nurse Practitioner to focus on

what health risks they may have and what preventative measures they may take to better their

health. It is anticipated that this service will be an effective health promotion and disease

prevention tool for patients in the region.
