Welcome to BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre


BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), is the only facility in B.C. devoted primarily to the health of women, newborns, and families. Located in Vancouver, B.C., we provide a range of specialized, tertiary, and primary and secondary health services that address the needs of women of all ages and backgrounds. We also provide training for providers across the province. In all our work, BC Women’s strives to provide excellence in care, research and teaching. As an academic health centre, BC Women's is affiliated with the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Women's Health Research Institute, and other education and research institutions.

Improved facilities for moms-to-be
 
New mothers will benefit from the completion of a $4.65-million renovation project to the ambulatory care facility and lobby at BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre. The newly renovated space provides women and their families access to outpatient maternity services in settings that provide improved patient comfort, accessibility, safety and quality of care. The Ministry of Health Services provided $3.9 million in funding for the project and the BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre Foundation provided $750,000 for much needed equipment.
