North Vancouver Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC)

Clinic Information

• The North Vancouver UPCC is for patients who require medical attention within 12 – 48 hours but are not emergent. Patients will be seen according to urgency. The last patient will be accepted approximately 1 hour before closing or when maximum capacity is reached.

   

  Offering  same-day care for concerns such as:

  • Minor injuries
  • Sprains and strains
  • Infections
  • Less serious child illness and injury
  • High fever
  • Asthma attacks
  • Cuts, wounds or skin conditions

   

  The UPCC is not intended to replace family doctors or care providers as a person’s first point of contact for health concerns.

   

  For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, please call 9-1-1 or go to the emergency department to be assessed and treated immediately.

   

  Patients are seen according to urgency. Due to high patient volumes, we may stop accepting new patients earlier in the day to ensure our teams have adequate time to care for those already in the queue prior to closing of the UPCC.

   

  If you do not have a primary care provider and are looking for a family doctor or nurse practitioner please register online here.
