Stephanie Higginson, parliamentary secretary for primary care –

“Urgent and primary care centres like the one opening in Cloverdale are a key part of how we’re strengthening primary care across B.C. By bringing physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals together in one place, this UPCC will help more people get timely support for their health needs and connect more patients to ongoing primary care in their community.”

Amna Shah, MLA for Surrey-City Centre –

“This new Cloverdale UPCC strengthens primary care in Surrey by connecting people to a team of health-care professionals and ensuring help is available when it’s needed most. It will also make it easier for families, giving them faster access to care close to home and helping keep our emergency departments focused on the most urgent cases.”

Jessie Sunner, MLA for Surrey-Newton –

“The opening of the Cloverdale UPCC is an important milestone for people living in Cloverdale and across Surrey. Surrey residents will now have nearby access to an urgent and primary care team so they can get care they need, when they need it, right in their own community. As a growing city, it’s imperative that we ensure that everyone in Surrey has access to timely, high-quality health care close to home, seven days a week.”

Garry Begg, MLA for Surrey-Guildford –

“People in Surrey want to know that they can rely on their health-care system to support them. The Cloverdale UPCC is bringing expanded access to urgent and primary care to the fastest-growing city in British Columbia. I want to thank our partners at Fraser Health for their continued partnership as we work to transform health care for people in Surrey and across B.C.”

Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood –

“The new UPCC is great news for people living in and around Cloverdale and is a significant step forward in improving access to primary care for all of us in Surrey. Here, people can access comprehensive care through an interdisciplinary, team-based model of care that will help connect people to the care they need.”
