Primary Care Clinic

Please note that due to being at full capacity, the VAHS Primary Care Clinic cannot welcome new patients at this time.

The VAHS Primary Care Clinic is a multidisciplinary and comprehensive clinic that responds to the health and wellness needs of our community, with a focus on urban Indigenous peoples and residents of the Downtown Eastside. In addition to full-scope primary care, our clinic offers OAT, HIV care, dietitian services, mental health supports, and access to Elder-led traditional healing.

Our experience has shown that providing integrated, innovative, and culturally safe health care can improve patient acceptance of care and treatment outcomes.

We have extended hours on Wednesday evenings for our youth clinic.
