Clinic Transition & Dr Lawley February 2025

We welcome the new ownership group of Drs Presslauer, Loewen, and Borbandy. They are taking over the reins after 40+ years of stewardship under our original owners Drs Schulson, Ehman, Mark, and Walker. To our patients - at this time Drs Schulson and Ehman are not retiring, but simply stepping down from managing the clinic! They will continue to provide the same dedicated care to their patients that they always have.

We also have Dr Matthew Lawley joining us this month. Dr Lawley is originally from Nanaimo, and has recently moved home with his young family after spending many years abroad in Australia. Welcome Dr Lawley!

New Faces & Leaves September 2024

Please note Dr Loewen is currently on maternity leave, with a tentative return January 2025. We wish her and the family much love and congratulations on their latest addition.

We also wish to welcome Dr Isabelle Chaput, our previous family medicine resident who has now graduated and is covering Dr Loewen’s patient panel while she is away.

Our other new face is Dr Jared Mell, our newest physician who have arrived from Minnesota! He is looking forward to building his practice and calling Nanaimo home with his family.
