We can help you whether you have a day-of appointment or are staying overnight at St. Paul’s Hospital.

As well as doctors and nurses, we have a special pharmacist to help with medications. If you need intravenous (IV) antibiotics, our team can send you to the  Community Intravenous (CIV) Program. This will help you receive IV medicine after you get discharged.
