Walk-In Clinics Open Now in Vancouver

Live open/closed status in Vancouver local time for the clinics that publish verified hours, plus the late-evening and seven-day options that are open when most walk-in clinics have closed.

If you need care tonight

  1. Call 8-1-1 (HealthLink BC). Free, 24 hours a day, staffed by registered nurses who can tell you whether your problem can wait until morning. Translation is available in over 130 languages.
  2. Try a UPCC. Open until 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Call first — registration closes early once capacity is reached.
  3. Use a BC virtual clinic. Several services see BC residents by video in the evening; see our virtual care guide.
  4. Go to an emergency department for anything severe, rapidly worsening, or that you would not feel safe waiting on until morning. See Vancouver emergency rooms.

Do not wait for a walk-in clinic to open if you have chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a serious head injury, a severe allergic reaction or thoughts of harming yourself. Call 9-1-1.

Questions about after-hours care

Which Vancouver walk-in clinics are open late?

The five Vancouver Coastal Health urgent and primary care centres are open until 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday, which is later than almost every private walk-in clinic in the city. On Sundays they close at 5 p.m. Private clinics typically close between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Is any clinic in Vancouver open 24 hours?

No walk-in clinic in Vancouver is open 24 hours. Overnight, your options are an emergency department — Vancouver General, St. Paul's, Mount Saint Joseph or BC Children's — or HealthLink BC at 8-1-1, which is staffed by registered nurses around the clock.

Why does a clinic show as open but turn me away?

Vancouver walk-in clinics cap the number of patients they register each session. Once the queue fills, the clinic stops taking new patients even though the door is still open. This commonly happens one to two hours before posted closing. Phoning ahead is the only reliable way to know.
