Our Services
Community Nursing Services
Meet with a VCHC Registered Nurse (RN) to support your health needs.
Our Registered Nurses provide a full range of community nursing and health education services and are happy to collaborate with any other health service providers such as Nurse Practitioners, Family Physicians, wellness practitioners etc.
The RNs are based in the Cook St Village Activity Centre, 380 Cook St. The RNs are available during clinic hours at the CSVAC or scheduled home visits.
Their services are covered for any holder of a BC Services Card. Co-op Membership is not required to access these services.

Health & Wellness Education
Our aim is to support our member-owners in understanding and adopting healthy behaviours for optimal wellness through a range of programs primarily offered by practitioners and community educators.
We work with community partners to offer new and recurring programs that can be tailored for a very specific or wide range of individuals and groups. Our most popular offerings are:
- Hans Kai™ (Group Learning)
- Choices for a Healthy Lifestyle
- Wellbeing Sessions
If your organization would like to host a short-course, workshop or long-term program, please get in touch with our team at vichealthcoop@gmail.com to discuss.
Community Outreach
Focusing on the social determinants of health, we advocate for solutions to community health challenges, inequities, and disparities.
Over the past 13 years, we have formed partnerships with organizations working to bring about positive change in community health. We collaborate with local, provincial, and national non-profit organizations, committees, and groups to identify and develop opportunities that contribute to community health and wellbeing.
