Whether for a health care matter that popped up unexpectedly, a chronic condition that requires ongoing care, or for your mental well being in these uncertain times, now more than ever, it’s important that you look after your health and receive ongoing, comprehensive care from your family doctor.

Family doctors provide comprehensive, patient-centred health care, focusing on your wellness and improved quality of life, as well as any acute physical or mental health concerns you may have. Your ongoing relationship with your family doctor means there is someone available who knows you well and can help you remain healthy.

Appointments with your family doctor by telephone and video help reduce the risk of spread of the COVID-19 virus and support you staying at home. If your family doctor thinks you need to be seen in person, they will help you navigate this safely.

The BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) covers the cost of in-office, telephone and video appointments.

Virtual medical care provided by companies such as Babylon and Maple do not connect you with your own family doctor. Contact your family doctor’s office for information on the format their office is using for appointments by phone and video.
