Build Your Career Between Farmland and Lakeside Living
For physicians and nurse practitioners who want meaningful work and a life surrounded by water and mountains
Welcome to Agassiz & Harrison
While Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs are located just minutes from one another, they offer two very different community experiences. Agassiz is rooted in farmland traditions and small-town connection, providing opportunities to build strong, community-based practices.
Harrison Hot Springs offers a vibrant lakeside and resort-town lifestyle, with waterfront living and year-round recreation. Together, these neighbouring communities create a unique opportunity to design a diverse practice while enjoying balance between professional fulfillment and lifestyle.
Community Care, Real Impact
Work where care needs meet opportunity.
With family physicians and nurse practitioners across Agassiz and additional outreach support through a part-time clinic in Harrison Hot Springs, you have the opportunity to practise across a wide variety of settings: community and family‑practice clinics, long-term and senior care, outreach and home‑based services, and seasonal or episodic care for visitors drawn by the lake and resort amenities. For providers who value variety, continuity, and autonomy, this region presents a compelling offering.
The provider community here is close-knit and collaborative. Physicians and nurse practitioners work together across sites, sharing responsibilities, supporting long‑term care residents, and coordinating outreach and community health efforts. While the team is small, the impact is large: care is personal, connections are real, and you are known, not lost.
Whether you’re early in your career or seeking a change from a big‑city hospital, this region offers the chance to shape your own practice, one that fits your skills and your lifestyle.
Family Practice & Episodic Care at Agassiz Community Health Centre and Village Health Centre
Family physicians and nurse practitioners in Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs provide longitudinal and episodic care across two community health centres, serving patients at every stage of life. Whether supporting ongoing chronic disease management, addressing acute concerns, or delivering preventive care, providers across both sites bring continuity and local knowledge to the communities they serve. Together, these two locations ensure that residents across the corridor have access to primary care close to home.
Long‑Term Care
Family physicians and nurse practitioners in the Agassiz-Harrison area provide medical oversight across two long-term care facilities, Glennwood Senior Community and Agassiz Seniors Community, supporting a combined 109 residents. Longitudinal providers care for clusters of residents and offer ongoing support through assessments, chronic disease management, medication reviews, and close coordination with interdisciplinary teams.
A Lake Town with Heart
Hot Springs, Hikes, Community Roots and space to breathe
Agassiz brings farmland roots, local farms, and a small-town community vibe. Together, this region offers a rare mix: the calm of rural life, the rhythm of village living, and access to wellness, all within reach of your work life.
Meanwhile, nearby Harrison Hot Springs sits at the southern tip of a glacial lake surrounded by mountains, rivers, and forested valleys. Its five natural mineral hot spring pools, sandy lake beaches, and mountain trails offer a mix of relaxation and adventure for all seasons. Living here means weekend boat rides on Harrison Lake, lakeside walks at dusk, forest hikes, fresh air, and a slower pace that restores you.
For families or anyone craving balance, this is a place where winters are quiet, springs bring renewal, and summers invite lakeside living. The landscape, the community, and the lifestyle make it easy to belong here and just as easy to return.
Supported Practice, Balanced Life
Practical help so you can focus on care, not logistics.
Even in a rural, lake‑town setting, providers are backed by strong support. Through the broader Division network we belong to, you’ll have access to administrative support, EMR selection and training, billing help, and staffing support for outreach or long‑term care needs.
Whether you’re starting a clinic, covering long‑term care residents, or working part‑time, you’ll find community, mentorship, and practical resources here. Rural or resort‑town doesn’t have to mean isolated or unsupported.
Testimonials
Hear From Your Future Colleagues
One of the things I’ve valued most here is the mentorship, especially among female physicians. There’s a real culture of sharing knowledge, setting boundaries, and supporting each other in meaningful ways. That kind of support has been consistent across the entire community. It is not just one or two people carrying the weight. Everyone looks out for each other.
