Urgent and primary care centre opens in Langley

People living in Langley and the surrounding community are benefiting from better access to team-based urgent primary care with the opening of a new Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) in Langley.

“We are expanding access to urgent and primary care in Langley so people get the care they need closer to home,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “With each UPCC that opens, we are supporting the evolving needs of diverse, growing communities and connecting more people with primary health services they can count on, now and in the future.”

Temporarily located with Fraser Health’s Home Health and Rapid Access Clinic offices at 101, 20651 56th Ave., the Langley UPCC is now open seven days a week, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and statutory holidays.

The UPCC will transition to its permanent location at 20434 64th Ave. with expanded hours of operation and staffing in approximately one year when construction of the new facility is complete.

“Our government’s investments in team-based primary care throughout British Columbia are making our province healthier and stronger,” said Andrew Mercier, MLA for Langley. “I’m thrilled that more people in Langley will receive the timely urgent and primary care they need in their own community.”
