Burnaby Urgent and Primary Care Centres
Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCCs) provide medical care for urgent, non-emergency issues. For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, call 911 or go to the Emergency Department. UPCCs are for when you are unable to see your family practitioner or access a walk-in clinic in a timely manner. If you do not have a doctor or nurse practitioner, you can receive urgent care at a UPCC.

Burnaby Primary Care Network
A Primary Care Network (PCN) is a clinical network of local primary care service providers. The Burnaby PCN brings together the Burnaby, BC community, its Primary Care Providers, and Fraser Health to collectively drive city-wide health and well-being.
Primary Care Providers (PCP) are health care professionals, such as Family Physicians or Nurse Practitioners, who help you manage your health. A long-term relationship with a PCP keeps you healthier; they can treat you when you are sick or help you access more advanced care when you need it.
We also work alongside community organizations and service agencies to connect Burnaby residents, not only with medical care, but with essential social supports as well.
Visit the Burnaby PCN website to find health and wellness supports.
