Ep 164: Creating a Network of Clinics That Function as One Organization with 40 Under 40 Awardee, Dr. Julie Wilson Part 2

Dr. Julie Wilson is a physician-entrepreneur on a mission to rebuild primary care from the inside out — not just for patients, but for the doctors who serve them. 

As the Founder and CEO of Terra Nova Medical Clinics, she’s leading the largest and fastest-growing physician-led network in British Columbia, bringing a modern, collaborative, and tech-forward model of healthcare to a system that’s long been stuck in the past. 

Frustrated by the outdated setups she saw across BC — single-doc offices, paper records, no cross-coverage — Julie built her first clinic in 2015 with a bold vision: integrated teams, cloud-based systems, and a structure that puts both providers and patients first. While many clinics shut their doors during the pandemic, she doubled down, scaling Terra Nova from one location serving 25,000 patients to a thriving network of seven clinics serving over 50,000. 

Her approach blends medical excellence with compassion, ethical leadership, fair pay, career progression, and continuity of care — creating a blueprint for how primary care should work. 

Named to Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women and 40 Under 40, she’s also a healthcare advocate working to fix Canada’s physician shortage by mentoring international medical grads and influencing policy through her role with Doctors of BC.
