Visit CP@clinic, BC's community paramedic clinic in an urban setting

The CP@clinic initiative, which has operated at Surrey’s Ted Kuhn supportive housing towers in partnership with Options Community Services and McMaster University since December 2021, sees a team of community paramedics host a clinic for tower residents once a week. Many of the patients have mobility challenges or other barriers to care, so having the clinic on-site has improved their access to health care.
A report from McMaster University’s Community Paramedicine Research Team found that there were 38 per cent fewer 911 calls to the Ted Kuhn towers compared to similar supportive residential buildings without a clinic. The report also estimated the clinic has saved the B.C. health care system nearly $450,000.
