Island Health

Island Health provides health care services through a network of hospitals, clinics, centres, health units, and long-term care locations. We serve more than 850,000 people on Vancouver Island, the islands in the Salish Sea and the Johnstone Strait, and the mainland communities north of Powell River and south of Rivers Inlet.

Island Health delivers many types of health care services for residents, clients and patients. These services can be viewed here.

We are committed to being accountable to the people we serve. This means we are committed to informing you about our plans to deliver services that meet community needs, and we will report on the services and resources we provide to meet those needs.

Island Health exists to help people live healthy lives. From Cape Scott to Victoria, Tofino to Campbell River, the health of our communities and residents remains the focus at Island Health. Before Canada and BC were formed, Indigenous peoples lived in balance and interconnectedness with the land and water in which the necessities of life are provided. Health disparities persist which are due to the impacts of colonization and Indigenous specific racism. Healthy lands, healthy people.

Island Health acknowledges and recognizes these homelands and the stewardship of Indigenous peoples of what is now known as Vancouver Island; it is with humility we continue to work toward building our relationship.
