All about UPCCs in Burnaby
What is a UPCC?
Centrele de asistență medicală de urgență și primară (UPCC) oferă asistență medicală pentru probleme urgente, care nu sunt urgențe. Pentru bolile sau rănile care pun viața în pericol, sunați la 911 sau mergeți la Departamentul de urgență.
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.
When should I go to the UPCC?
Examples of when to visit a UPCC for urgent care include:
- Cuts, wounds or skin conditions
- Infections
- New or worsening pain
- Sprains and strains
- Nausea, diarrhea and constipation
- Mental health issues such as low mood, anxiety or depression
- Support from a social worker (e.g., financial hardship, resource navigation, community supports, housing instability, changes in health, safety and support)

Do you need a family doctor?
If you are a Burnaby resident without a Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner — also known as being ‘unattached’ — you can join the Patient Attachment Waitlist to be matched with a provider who is accepting patients.
