Program Overview
Patient Connect NB is designed to help New Brunswick residents find a primary health care provider - family doctor or nurse practitioner. The program will work to find you a primary health care provider in your area. Your information will be used to determine your health needs, refer you to a provider and to contact you to ensure that you are still looking for a provider.
Please note that this web registration tool is not designed to update existing records. If you registered in the past at a regional hospital, through Tele-Care 811 or using this on-line tool and you need to update your personal information or change your health status please update your file on-line at Gnb.ca Patient Connect NB or call Tele-Care at 811 Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. Creating duplicate records may delay our ability to find you a provider.
