Find Care

Primary Care Provider

Your primary care provider – whether a family physician or nurse practitioner – is your first point of contact for any health concern or question. They offer a wide range of services, including medical advice, referrals, and prescription renewals. Many also offer same-day appointments for urgent needs.

• Pathways Medical Directory
  The Pathways Medical Directory is a provincially-run searchable database where:
  • If you have a primary care provider, you can find information and resources at your clinic.
  • You can find available maternity care.
  • You will find links to register for a Primary Care Provider on Health Connect.
    

North Vancouver Urgent & Primary Care Centre (UPCC)

When you can’t see your family doctor, go to the North Vancouver UPCC. It is the place you can go to get same-day care for urgent and non-life-threatening health concerns within 12 to 24 hours. A UPCC is not an emergency department.  The UPCC is there for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries, such as:

• Sprains and strains
• Cuts, wounds, or skin conditions
• X-rays
• High fever
• Infections (including, chest, ear and urinary tract)
• Asthma attacks
• New or worsening pain
• Less serious child illness and injuries
• Social work services
