First Aid & Health Care

Basic First Aid 

Our Residence Directors are first-aid certified. Please contact them if you require basic first-aid assistance. 

Walk-In Clinics 

If you are having non-emergency health issues, please call a local walk-in clinic to enquire about accessing their services. Many walk-in clinics limit the number of patients that can enter their facilities and instead are providing virtual appointments. Whether you meet in person or virtually, the doctor will ask questions about your health concerns and provide the appropriate advice. To find walk-in clinics near you, click here.

Students must bring a provincial health care card or medical insurance card to visit a clinic. 

Hospitals 

If you are having a medical emergency, you should go directly to the emergency room (ER) at your local hospital or call 911. A walk-in doctor may also refer you to the hospital for various medical services, such as diagnostic services or surgical services. Each community has their own hospital. For more information regarding hospitals in the Fraser Health region, click here. 

If you are unsure whether you need to visit a doctor or the hospital, you can call HealthLinkBC at 811 to talk to a nurse. 

Pharmacies 

To purchase medication or personal hygiene items, you can visit a local pharmacy. Some medications may require a prescription, which is a special note of permission that doctors give you so that you can get certain types of medicine. If you need medication that requires a prescription, please meet with a walk-in clinic doctor to request a prescription.
