About this service
Our patients, who we call clients, receive both health and mental health assessments and care when they are admitted into one of B.C.'s 10 provincial correctional centres. Our teams make sure our clients receive the same quality of care as they would in the community, and that it continues once they are discharged and return to their lives.
To provide quality care that is readily available when clients need it, Correctional Health Services is integrated with B.C.s general health care system, which is governed by the Ministry of Health. Our province is one of the first in Canada to move correctional health care responsibilities from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Health. This move follows recommendations from both the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the World Health Organization.
Who can use it?
People in custody in British Columbia's 10 provincial correctional centres.
