    About HealthLinkBC

    HealthLink BC is the gateway to access non-emergency health information and services in British Columbia. It is a phone number and a website available 24/7/365. It is also a collection of print and online resources, including the BC HealthGuide Handbook, which puts health and health care system know-how into the hands and homes of British Columbians.

    Not only is our website available 24/7/365, it can be accessed from many different types of devices. Our website will automatically reformat to fit the size of whatever screen you are using. You can access health information from your smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.

    Through our programs and services, you can get the information you need to make healthy decisions for yourself and those you care for, wherever and whenever you want it.

    HealthLink BC brought together some of British Columbia's most trusted and recognized health information services including: the BC HealthGuide, BC HealthFiles, BC NurseLine, Pharmacist Services, and Dial-a-Dietitian - and expanded these with an online and by-phone navigation service to help you find the health resources and facilities you need, closest to where you live.

    Our integrated group of services continues our history of trusted, high-quality health care.
