About Ashcroft Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC)

The Ashcroft Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) provides team-based care for non-emergency health concerns to individuals in Ashcroft and surrounding communities who require same-day attention.

If you have a health emergency that requires immediate care, call 911 or present at the nearest emergency department.

Care is available for concerns such as:

  • Minor injuries
  • Sprains and strains
  • Infections
  • Less serious child illness and injury 
  • High fever
  • Cuts, wounds or skin conditions

If you do not have a family doctor/nurse practitioner, or you are unable to get an appointment with your care provider that day, you can visit the UPCC.

  • Family physician
  • Nurse practitioner
  • Registered nurse
  • Mental health and substance use clinicians
  • indigenous Patient Navigator
