Calling the right number makes a difference in getting the care you need as quickly as possible.

🚨 911 is for critical health and safety emergencies requiring ambulance paramedics or other first responders such as firefighters or police.

📳 811 is B.C.’s 24/7 hotline that connects you to health-care professionals who can answer your medical questions and direct you to the resources you need.

By keeping 911 for serious emergencies, you will be helping ensure we are able to speak to and treat the most seriously ill and injured patients as quickly as possible.

A second chance at life—and a connection that changed two families forever. 💚

Ben’s decision to be an organ donor saved three lives—and a year and a half later, brought his family together with the man who received his liver.

After exchanging anonymous letters, Ben’s mom Holly and sister Courtney met Mark for the first time earlier this year.

See the powerful impact one decision can have on both sides of organ donation and transplantation.

Are you registered? One organ donor can save up to eight lives. Registeryourdecision.ca

Are you ?

Early bystander CPR and use of automated external defibrillator or AED can double a person’s chance of survival in a cardiac arrest emergency.

AEDs deliver an electrical shock (defibrillation) to a person’s heart and restore a normal rhythm, and anyone can safely use one without medical training.

There are AEDs in public places across BC. Make note of the location of nearby AEDs so you can find one quickly in an emergency.

Be and you could help save a life if a family member, friend or stranger goes into sudden cardiac arrest.

On International Day of the Midwife, we celebrate the incredible midwives who walk alongside patients and families through some of life’s most powerful moments. From first kicks to first cries, their care goes beyond medicine — it’s compassion, strength, and trust woven into every step of the journey.

Hear from dedicated and compassionate midwives with BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre on what being a midwife means to them:

🩷"Midwives empower people, improve outcomes and bridge gaps in the health system. When midwives care for families throughout pregnancy, birth, and after, they reduce inequities in care by helping people make informed choices and by offering personalized, relationship-based support. For me, this work is about being an advocate, encouraging people to trust their instincts, and showing up as a safe and calm provider.”– Sonia Perez

🩷“The most rewarding part of being a midwife is witnessing the strength and transformation of families as they welcome new life—being trusted to walk alongside them in such a profound, vulnerable, and empowering moment is truly an honour.” – Mitra Sadeghipour

🩷“I can't put into words how fulfilling it is to be a world-class health care provider to families. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and contribute to their growth during their most vulnerable and meaningful moments. It’s a privilege and responsibility I carry with deep respect.” – Nana TwumasiPrah

On this day of recognition, share a kudos to the midwives in your lives.
