Preparing for your visit
- Referrals are accepted by fax: 604-806-9618. Once the clinic receives it, the clerk will contact you directly for an appointment. You will receive a reminder call or email prior your appointment as well.
- If you need a sign language interpreter (at no cost to you), please let us know in advance.
- If you require an English-speaking interpreter, please notify us in advance and we can provide one at no cost to you. It is best if someone can accompany you to help with interpretation.
- Please note any changes in your condition since your last visit.
All of Providence Health Care’s hospitals and residences are scent-free environments. Please do not wear scented products.
Getting ready
- A list of all of your current medications.
- Your BC Care Card
- A family member or friend, particularly if interpretation is required. This person can help you understand and remember all of the information we give you.
When you arrive, we will check you in before you meet with the doctor.
Transportation & parking
Remember to allow time (approximately 30 minutes) before your appointment to get from your car or transit to the clinic area. If you are new to the clinic and need directions when you arrive at St. Paul’s Hospital, ask a volunteer or reception for directions to our front door. Please remember the name of the clinic to get the best assistance.
