People in B.C. are one step closer to accessing expanded health-care services at Royal Columbian Hospital as the project reaches an important construction milestone.

Newcomers to Canada living in New Westminster and surrounding communities will soon have more access to primary health care through expanded services at the Umbrella Multicultural Health Co-op Community Health Centre.

People in assisted living residences, including supportive recovery homes, will have access to more care options and added protection as amendments to the Community Care and Assisted Living Act come into force.

To help meet the demands of a growing population, the British Columbia government is moving forward with the next phase of a massive expansion of Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) in New Westminster.

Former residents of Woodlands who attended the school before Aug. 1, 1974, will finally receive compensation for systemic abuse suffered at the provincial institution, announced Premier John Horgan.

A new acute-care tower, a larger emergency department, and upgrades to existing spaces are in store for Royal Columbian Hospital as the Province today announced business plan approval for Phases 2 and 3 and three of the hospital’s redevelopment.
