Men's Health

If you have questions or concerns about men’s health issues speak with your health care provider or contact HealthLink BC at 8-1-1. Calling 8-1-1 will connect you with a health service navigator. They can provide you with health information, help you navigate the health care system and find health services across the province. They can also connect you with a registered nurse, registered dietitian, qualified exercise professional, or pharmacist.

For general health information, you can also visit Canadian Men's Health Foundation to access easy tips, services, and useful tools to help men and their families make changes to improve their health.
