Medical clinics

In Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean, family doctors practice in about sixty medical clinics throughout the territory. Some medical clinics have been grouped together to form Family Doctor Groups (GMF). A Family Doctor Group is a combination of physicians who work closely with nurses and other health professionals.

The main purpose of a GMF

  • give people better access to a family doctor
  • improve medical care, quality and organization of front-line services
  • ensure better accessibility, support and continuity of services
  • develop a complementary link and partnership with the establishments of the Health and Social Services network.
