For Everything That’s Community Health (FETCH)
FETCH is an online searchable health and social services website developed in partnership with the Rural and Remote Division of Family Practice on Gabriola and People for a Healthy Community. It provides community specific information that enables Gabriola citizens, visitors, doctors and health care providers access information and services to support health and well being. Looking for a doctor, dentist, allied health and healing arts professionals, home support, mental health resources, seniors services and many more go to www.gabriola.fetchbc.ca. Once approved by the administrator, health professionals and service providers can add and update their service to FETCH’s self editing website. For further information contact Brenda Fowler at ed@phcgabriola.org.
