Proudly ​Nova Scotian.

We are an innovative nurse practitioner-led private medical clinic providing a personalized approach to medical care in Nova Scotia.  Bluenose Health uses a limited subscription-based membership to offer clients timely access to primary health care.  Our focus is to provide every patient with the individual attention to meet his or her specific health care needs.

At Bluenose Health, we believe that timely access to primary care is vital to the health of all Nova Scotians. Just as the Bluenose was a symbol of shipbuilding excellence in Nova Scotia, we see ourselves as participants in promoting healthcare excellence. We provide evidence-based primary care offered through a subscription model in which clients pay for services. 
The clinic is led by nurse practitioners in a comfortable, confidential setting.
