New Urgent Care Center Opens at UBC Campus in Vancouver

A new Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) officially opened its doors at the UBC campus in Vancouver on March 31, 2026.

Located at 6165 Agronomy Road, the facility provides timely, non-emergency care for students, staff, faculty, and local residents.

Using an interdisciplinary, team-based care model, the UPCC handles urgent health issues that require attention within 12 to 24 hours, such as minor infections, stitches, and sprains.

The center is equipped with X-ray services and aims to support about 58,000 patient visits annually.

Importantly, the UPCC is not an emergency room.

Those facing life-threatening situations, like severe trauma or chest pain, should continue to use 911 or visit a hospital emergency department.
