The VWHC hosts many different free programs or services related to all aspects of women’s health, including a community clinic, yoga, acupuncture, Pilates, counselling and a wide range of workshops. Other resources include a non-lending library, listings of local support groups and health practitioners, information about community events and other resources.
Visit the space to learn more about what we offer. Our volunteers are “women helping women help themselves” and will guide you through our resources or refer you to other services that may best suit your needs.
Thanks to the diverse backgrounds of our volunteers, we do our best to accommodate support in different languages. Please note our volunteers are not professional interpreters. Professional interpretation services may be available during appointments with Nurse Practitioners (by request).
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.
The VWHC Women’s Health Resource Centre houses an extensive collection of books, reports and journals on all aspects of women’s health. This includes body image, abortion, complementary therapies, sexuality, violence against women, and social determinants of health.
Our resource centre is equipped with multiple computers with internet access, printers and a fax machine.
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.
