Each visit includes comprehensive assessments, detailed explanations, and the opportunity to address all of your health concerns. This proactive approach emphasizes disease prevention, health promotion, and overall wellness, rather than simply reacting to illness.
At CARESPACE, our Nurse Practitioners build a deep understanding of your health history and goals, allowing them to provide care tailored to your unique needs. Whether managing chronic conditions, preventive care, or family health, you can trust our NPs to be thorough, compassionate, and dedicated to helping you and your family maintain optimal health for the long term.

What to Expect from a Nurse Practitioner at CARESPACE
When you visit a CARESPACE Nurse Practitioner in Cambridge, you can expect a clear, respectful, and thorough experience from start to finish. Our process is designed to make you feel comfortable and empowered, focusing on practical steps to manage your health, prevent illness, and build a strong, trusting relationship with your primary care provider.
Personalized Plans for Your Goals
We know that every person’s health needs and life circumstances are unique. Your care at CARESPACE starts with a comprehensive first visit (typically 60-90 minutes), where we take the time to listen to your story. You’ll have a detailed discussion with your Nurse Practitioner about your health history, your family’s health, your daily activities, and your health goals. This is followed by a thorough, relevant physical exam. Your NP may also recommend preventative screening or diagnostic lab work to get a complete picture of your health. Based on all this information, your NP will explain their findings in plain language and work with you to create a personalized health plan. Whether your goal is to manage a chronic condition, lose weight, or simply stay healthy and active, your plan will be practical and tailored to you.
Evidence-Based Treatments That Work
Our commitment at CARESPACE is to provide primary care that is based on the best available medical evidence. Our Cambridge Nurse Practitioners are regulated primary health care providers with the authority to diagnose illnesses, order and interpret tests, and prescribe most medications. For acute issues like a child’s ear infection or a minor injury, they provide prompt and effective treatment. For long-term conditions like high cholesterol or thyroid disease, they provide ongoing management according to established clinical guidelines, including medication management and regular monitoring. But our care doesn’t stop at prescriptions. A core part of our evidence-based approach is integrating lifestyle medicine. Your NP will provide you with practical, scientifically-backed advice on nutrition, exercise, and stress management as a first-line approach to improving your health. This empowers you to take an active role in your well-being and often reduces the long-term need for medication.
Multidisciplinary Support When You Need It
Some health issues are complex and benefit from more than one type of expertise. The CARESPACE model is built on our three pillars of care, and this means your Nurse Practitioner is part of a larger, collaborative team that provides practical benefits for your health. For example, an individual dealing with a work-related musculoskeletal injury can see their NP for diagnosis, pain management, and any necessary prescriptions. To ensure a full and lasting recovery, the NP can then coordinate directly with a CARESPACE physiotherapist or chiropractor to provide the manual therapy and rehabilitative exercises needed to address the root cause of the injury. This teamwork ensures you get complete, well-rounded care in one location, for a faster and more efficient return to work and daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions About a Nurse Practitioner in Cambridge
Do I need a referral to see a Nurse Practitioner in Cambridge?
No, a doctor’s referral is not necessary to see a Nurse Practitioner in Cambridge. As primary health care providers, you can schedule an appointment for yourself or your family directly with our team at any time.
With so many people in Cambridge without a family doctor, is this a good option?
Yes, absolutely. A Nurse Practitioner at CARESPACE is an excellent option for individuals and families in Cambridge who are on a waitlist or unable to find a family doctor. Our NPs provide the full range of primary care services, offering a stable and reliable healthcare home for your family.
Is care from a Nurse Practitioner at CARESPACE covered by OHIP?
No. To provide the extended appointment times and in-depth, wellness-focused approach that defines our model, our NP services operate outside of OHIP. This allows us to offer a different standard of care. These services are, however, often covered by extended health insurance plans under nursing services.
What is the difference between a Nurse Practitioner and a Family Doctor?
While both are primary care providers, a Family Doctor’s training is based in the medical model of treating disease. A Nurse Practitioner’s training starts with a holistic nursing foundation and adds advanced medical training. This often results in a strong focus on patient education, health promotion, and a collaborative, partnership-based approach to care.
Can an NP order the same tests as a doctor?
Yes. Nurse Practitioners in Ontario are authorized to order and interpret a wide range of diagnostic tests, including most standard blood work, X-rays, and ultrasounds, to help them diagnose and manage your health conditions effectively.
Can a Nurse Practitioner prescribe my medications and provide renewals?
Yes. Our NPs have broad prescribing authority and can manage most medications needed for primary care. They can provide new prescriptions for acute and chronic conditions and can also provide timely renewals for your existing medications, offering a convenient and accessible service.
