The provincial government is more than doubling the number of specialty nurse training opportunities in the province by funding 1,000 seats each year at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT).

New investments in the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) for sonography and cardiovascular perfusion programs will mean more graduates and better health care for people in British Columbia.

Major facility upgrades at Burnaby Hospital and two new patient-care towers will give people in this growing community faster access to better health care. 

People in Burnaby will soon have increased access to team-based health care with the launch of three primary-care networks (PCNs) and the opening of the new Burnaby Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) in May 2019.

Seniors in Burnaby are benefiting from a nearly $4-million investment in 2018-19 to increase staffing levels and ensure seniors get the care they need in residential care homes.
