Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCCs)
Urgent care in Burnaby-Metrotown for non-life-threatening medical concerns that need attention within 12 to 24 hours.
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.
People with the most urgent medical concerns are seen first. If you don’t have an urgent illness or injury, learn about your other care options.
