Who is the SDNPC and What is a Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic (NPLC)?
Nurse Practitioner Led clinics are an innovative model for delivery of comprehensive primary health care in Ontario and Canada. One of the unique aspects of the model is the incorporation of nursing leadership within an interprofessional team.
The SDNPC is Canada’s first NP led clinic, having opened in 2007. We have since grown to three clinics across the Sudbury area, with two clinics in the downtown core and one in Lively.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing exemplary primary health care services to the residents of the Sudbury District.
We care about our staff. We understand that wellness promotion and work/life balance are key to wellbeing and we strive to create an environment where employees are healthy and fulfilled.
