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.

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.

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.

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.
