What are healthcare services like in Vancouver?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Vancouver. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Vancouver are considered to be excellent. The city is home to leading research hospitals, such as Vancouver General Hospital, BC Women's Hospital and Health Centre, St. Paul's Hospital and a range of smaller community health organizations. The region also benefits from locally-run health services that offer a range of services from preventative health education to specialized care. Also, the Province of British Columbia covers essential medical services for everyone who lives in the province. Some services like dental care and eye exams are only available for a fee. Overall, Vancouver's healthcare system has been rated one of the best in North America," commented one expat who made the move to Vancouver, Canada.
