Advocating for ALS Awareness: May Marks ALS Awareness Month

May is designated as ALS Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and supporting individuals and families affected by this debilitating neurodegenerative disease. ALS, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, progressively impairs motor function, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately respiratory failure. Despite its devastating impact, there is currently no cure for ALS. Our directory provides programs and resources that address the needs of individuals living with ALS and resources for caregivers and families navigating the challenges associated with the disease.

Burnaby Urgent and Primary Care Centres
Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCCs) provide medical care for urgent, non-emergency issues. For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, call 911 or go to the Emergency Department.

UPCCs are for when you are unable to see your family practitioner or access a walk-in clinic in a timely manner. If you do not have a doctor or nurse practitioner, you can receive urgent care at a UPCC.

Find a Doctor
Register to be matched with a family doctor or nurse practitioner.

All BC residents can now register for a family doctor or nurse practitioner in their community through BC’s Health Connect Registry.

When you register, you are added to a centralized registry of primary care providers across your community.

Burnaby Primary Care Network
A Primary Care Network (PCN) is a clinical network of local primary care service providers. The Burnaby PCN brings together the Burnaby, BC community, its Primary Care Providers, and Fraser Health to collectively drive city-wide health and well-being.

Primary Care Providers (PCP) are health care professionals, such as Family Physicians or Nurse Practitioners, who help you manage your health. A long-term relationship with a PCP keeps you healthier; they can treat you when you are sick or help you access more advanced care when you need it.

We also work alongside community organizations and service agencies to connect Burnaby residents, not only with medical care, but with essential social supports as well.

Visit the Burnaby PCN website to find health and wellness supports.


Allied Health Services
Allied health professionals aim to prevent, diagnose, and treat a range of mental and physical health conditions and illnesses as an additional service in consultation with your Primary Care Provider (Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner).

Burnaby PCN Allied Health Services include:

B Well Health Coaching
Foot Care Nurse Services

Please speak with your Burnaby-based Primary Care Provider to see if you are eligible for any of our Allied Health services.
