About Us:

Health for All Family Health Team is an inter-professional primary care clinic where physicians, nurse practitioners, and allied health professionals work side by side to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care. Our team has diverse clinical interests—palliative care, geriatrics, home visits, low-risk obstetrics, and global health—which means you’ll have colleagues to collaborate with no matter where your passions lie.

We’re also home to the Markham Family Medicine Teaching Unit, a partnership between Oak Valley Health–Markham Stouffville Hospital and the University of Toronto’s Department of Family and Community Medicine. If you’re energized by mentorship, continuous learning, and shaping the next generation of family medicine providers, you’ll find that culture here.

The Role:

You’ll support an existing Family Health Organization (FHO) in Stouffville, working within an established practice rather than building your own panel. In this role, you’ll see patients on behalf of the physician — providing coverage, managing acute and chronic care needs, and ensuring continuity of care for their existing roster.

What you’ll do:

• Conduct assessments, diagnoses, treatment, and health education in line with CNO standards for RN(EC)
• Deliver holistic, culturally responsive care that meets each patient where they are
• Contribute to quality improvement initiatives and Family Health Team programs
• Provide coverage for colleagues when needed
• Engage in community outreach and health promotion activities

What We’re Looking For:

Required

• Current RN(EC) registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario (Primary Health Care stream)
• Liability protection through the Canadian Nurses Protective Society

Preferred

• Membership in RNAO and NPAO
• Primary care or community-based NP experience
• Experience working as a Nurse Practitioner in a Primary Care setting
• Familiarity with EMRs (Telus Practice Solutions is a plus
