The city says the lease agreements mark a major step toward giving residents greater access to family doctors and primary care.
The City of Surrey this week announced that it has finalized lease agreements for its first two community medical clinics.
Council approved five-year lease agreements for clinical spaces in City Centre and Newton, to be operated by Total Life Care Granville Medical Inc. under a partnership model endorsed by council.
The City Centre clinic will be located at 210-10362 King George Blvd. in a 2,000-square-foot unit alongside a Fraser Health public health unit and other health-care providers.
The Newton clinic will be located at 12757 76th Ave. in a newly built 2,900-square-foot commercial space.
Once up and running, each clinic is expected to accommodate approximately 10 physicians, the city notes, adding that the clinics are anticipated to open this fall, subject to construction timelines and regulatory approvals.
The clinics are part of Surrey’s Community Medical Clinics Initiative.
Last fall, the city issued a request for proposals for a qualified partner with “deep” experience in the Canadian healthcare system to support the siting, development and operation of new community-based clinics.
The city noted that the work would include advisory services to identify optimal clinic locations and provide conceptual planning and design support, operational management of clinics including staffing, administration and performance oversight, as well as partnership with the Simon Fraser University’s medical school to enable the clinics to serve as teaching sites.
The project also includes dedicated in-house recruitment personnel with a track record of successfully onboarding physicians in B.C., but with a “focus on minimizing cannibalization from existing clinics in the region.”
The city previously noted that Surrey has approximately 59 family physicians per 100,000 residents, less than half the 136 per 100,000 in Vancouver, so the wide gap needs to start closing.
