General Medical Care
The family doctors at Maple provide the majority of your primary medical care. The Maple Team complements these services with nurse practitioners and other health care providers. Our Nurse Practitioners work in collaboration with Physicians and Registered Nurses to care for patients in many different ways.
Nurse Practitioners who specialize in Primary Care provide comprehensive care to patients of all ages. They are experienced nurses with additional nursing education which enables them to provide such services as health promotion, disease and injury prevention and support. Nurse Practitioners can order a limited range of therapeutic interventions, diagnostic tests such as ultrasounds, lab tests or x-rays, make diagnoses on tests they have ordered, and prescribe medications from an approved list.
