EMERGENCY CARE

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 9-1-1 or go immediately to the Whistler Health Care Centre. The Whistler Health Care Centre provides 15 bays for emergency care, including a trauma bay. The Centre also has four triage beds and a procedure room and provides emergency, diagnostic imaging and laboratory services.
Urgent care is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, 365 days per year. After-hours on-call physicians and registered nurses are available.

NON-EMERGENCY CARE

Currently, there are no walk-in or virtual GP services available in Whistler. If you need to see a family doctor, your only option is to go the emergency at the Whistler Healthcare Centre.

You can call 8-1-1 to be connected with a health service navigator. They can help you navigate the health care system to connect you with a registered nurse, registered dietitian, qualified exercise professional, or pharmacist. This service cannot help you reach a doctor or nurse practitioner.
