Belleville Nurse Practitioner-led Clinic

What Belleville Nurse Practitioner-led Clinic does

Belleville Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic (BNPLC) is a non-profit primary healthcare organization established in August 2010 under Ontario's Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic model. It delivers comprehensive, patient-centered primary care to unattached patients — individuals without a family doctor — across Hastings, Lennox & Addington, Northumberland, and Prince Edward Counties in southeastern Ontario. Care is delivered by an interprofessional team including nurse practitioners, registered nurses, a social worker, a pharmacist, a dietitian, chiropractors, and administrative staff, supported by specialized programs in anticoagulation, baby-friendly infant feeding, CBT-I, COPD, dermatology, diabetes management, low back pain, newborn care (in partnership with Quinte Health Care), mental health, and smoking cessation (via CAMH's STOP program).

The clinic's technology stack is intentionally lightweight and third-party rather than proprietary: online appointment booking is delivered through Ocean by CognisantMD, and AI-assisted clinical documentation is provided by Tali AI Scribe, introduced in May 2025 as an opt-in tool during patient consultations. The clinic is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, holds Chief Nurse Practitioner/Clinic Director Dr. Karen Clayton-Babb as a voting board member, and complies with Ontario's PHIPA, Health Care Consent Act, and Mental Health Act as a Health Information Custodian.

BNPLC's revenue model is entirely public-payor: it receives ongoing operational funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, with a disclosed $4.45 million investment to attach up to 10,675 patients in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. Services are delivered at no direct cost to patients under OHIP coverage, and there is no private billing, fee-for-service revenue, or commercial product offering. Patient acquisition is supported by the Ontario Health Care Connect referral program, the Southeast LHIN regional authority, and direct discharge partnerships with Quinte Health Care.

• Ontario's Community Health Centres: Broader network of CHCs serving similar unattached-patient populations through interprofessional teams under provincial funding. BNPLC operates within the same provincial primary care ecosystem.
