Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) - Vancouver (REACH)

Healthcare Providers and Public Health

Provided by Vancouver Coastal Health

For patients with injuries and illnesses that should be addressed by a health care provider within 12 to 24 hours, but do not require the level of service or expertise found in an emergency department.

If your family doctor or health care provider isn't available. Visit the REACH UPCC if you are experiencing:
*Sprains and strains
*Cuts, wounds or skin conditions
*High fever
*Infections, including chest, ear and urinary tract
*Asthma attacks
*New or worsening pain
*Dehydration/constipation
*Less serious child illness and injury.

UPCCs are NOT Emergency Departments: For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, call 911 or go the Emergency Department to be assessed and treated immediately. For health concerns, call your family doctor or health care provider first. Same-day urgent appointments are often available.

The UPCC is not intended to replace family doctors or care providers as a person's first point of contact for health concerns, nor will it replace Emergency Departments for life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Rather, it is intended to be an additional service in the community, working in conjunction with all touch points for care to provide appropriate urgent services to patients, when and where they need it.
