This
urgent
primary
care
center
and
its
committed
staff
will
be
serving
my
community
with
a
range
of
services
from
non-urgent
primary
care,
harm
reduction,
mental
health
services
and
much
making
much
needed
connections
to
family
doctors
for
years.
I
know
that
thousands
of
families
have
gone
without
a
family
doctor
or
easy
access
to
primary
care.
A
Too
often,
people
are
left
waiting
for
hours
in
emergency
rooms
for
stitches
and
broken
bones
concerned
about
how
long
they
will
have
to
wait
for
urgent
medical
care.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
this
facility,
and
I
saw
firsthand
how
committed
and
passionate
the
frontline
workers
are
to
serving
the
needs
of
my
community.
A
I
know
this
facility
will
help
thousands
of
families,
and
I
am
told
that,
since
opening
its
doors,
it
already
is
serving
my
community.
Well,
I
look
forward
to
watching
the
upc,
see,
expand
and
grow
over
time
and
make
further
connections
with
service
providers
for
families
seniors
youth
at
risk,
serving
as
a
vital
link
to
addressing
the
unique
urgent
primary
care
challenges
of
my
community.
A
In
fact,
today,
community
organizations
are
coming
together
with
upcc
staff
to
connect
virtually
to
learn
about
this
important
addition
to
my
community.
I
want
to
thank
the
committed
frontline
workers,
vancouver
hostile
health,
the
minister
of
health
and
the
ministry
of
health
for
addressing
the
important
health
care
needs
of
my
community
and
serving
people
closer
to
home.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
