LNPLC AT FULL CAPACITY
Due to a large number of applications to our Clinic, we are now at capacity and can no longer accept new patients. If you have already submitted your application, it will be kept on file and you will be contacted in the future should openings become available or additional staff are hired. Should you locate primary health care through a different provider, please let us know so your name can be removed from our list.
