Drop-in Centre

The VWHC hosts many different free programs or services related to all aspects of women’s health, including a community clinic, a naturopathic clinic, wellness counselling, and a wide range of workshops. 

Our drop-in centre offers sanctuary from the challenges of poverty and violence, providing safe havens for individuals who identify as women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming and are in need. Additionally, we supply essential provisions such as:

Workshops

The VWHC hosts at least one educational monthly workshop, as well as ‘feel-good events’ such as Beauty Night, bra-fitting, and photo portraits – all donated by local community organisations and businesses.

Past educational workshops include: mindfulness, pelvic floor, skin care, introduction to energy, menstrual health

VWHC has developed workshops on Women’s Rights in the Healthcare system (aka Patients’ Rights) and body image that are available on demand to community groups or other organizations.

Our knowledgeable volunteers offer assistance with internet searches, document editing, and printing, ensuring accessibility and support for all.

Primary Care & Wellness

The community clinic staffed with Nurse Practitioners is currently on hold due to COVID-19. Please be advised we are not a testing site and cannot provide some previously offered medical services at this time. If you are a patient of one of the nurse practitioners and wish to contact them, please reach out to BC Women’s Hospital.
