HealthLinkBC--consolidated non-emergency BC health care information
To quote "About HealthlinkBC" from the website, "HealthLink BC is the gateway to access non-emergency health information and services in British Columbia. It brings together the services that British Columbians count on for health information – BC HealthGuide, BC HealthFiles, BC NurseLine and Pharmacist service, and Dial-a-Dietitian – and expanded these with an online and by-phone navigation service to help B.C. residents find the health resources and facilities they require, closest to where they live. It’s a phone number and it’s a website; it’s a collection of print and telephone resources that put services and health know-how into the hands and homes of BC residents."
Most visitors from this website are looking for nearby addiction counseling and treatment options and can determine what is available by entering the keyword "Addiction" and specifying the area they live in.
