CFJC: STEPS opens North Shore community health centre with goals of attaching more than 4,000 patients
KAMLOOPS — A new health centre has officially opened on the North Shore, set to bring longitudinal family doctor care to Kamloops. The facility is being run by Supporting Team Excellence with Patients Society (STEPS), which already operates similar community health centers in downtown Kamloops, Valleyview and Sun Peaks. The new North Shore opening represents years of hard work and dedication and will take a substantial bite out of the family doctor shortage in Kamloops.

Notice
Dr Viger Practice Closing
Dr. Viger will be closing his practice as of September 1, 2025 as he relocates out of Kamloops. At this time, STEPS does not have a provider available to take on new patients. We are actively recruiting and will prioritize previous patients once we are able to reattach. Make sure you’re registered with the BC Health Connect Registry (call 811 or visit healthlinkbc.ca) to be added to the waitlist for a new provider.
