New after-hours media line

The Communications Department has a new contact number for after-hours inquiries: 604-202-2012. Please update your records accordingly.

The media line should be contacted outside of regular business hours or on weekends and statutory holidays; if you leave a message, a member of the Communications team will return your call as soon as possible. Responsibility for the media line is shared between the Communications departments at Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health Care, so please remember that at times, you may speak with someone outside your organization.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind staff that all media requests should be referred to the Communications Department. This includes media accessing any VCH/PHC facility, or wanting to speak to a staff member or patient on-site.

During regular business hours (8:30am-5pm), you can contact:
