Beach Avenue Medical Clinic is a Family Practice located across the street from beautiful Lake Okanagan. We are pleased to be part of the community of Peachland and look forward to serving you, your family, and friends. We extend a sincere welcome to visitors, as well as new or long-time residents of the Okanagan Valley.
We are no longer accepting new patients.
The clinic's current medical director is retiring and Beach Avenue Medical Clinic will cease operations as of March 31, 2019. Our goal is the best and easiest continuity of care. All of our other physicians will be moving their practices to other clinic locations so no patient will lose their family doctor.
Our goal is the best and easiest continuity of care. All of our other physicians will be moving their practices to other clinic locations and hope that all of their patients will follow them. Patients don't need to do anything to ensure that they remain a patient of their family doctor - you will just book appointments at your doctor's new location as of April 1st. We are hoping that prior to that we will be able to secure a new medical director and that physician coverage in Peachland would be seamless. However, as of April 1st the following changes are occurring.
