What it does
HealthLink BC connects British Columbia residents with health information and services. Its website offers topic search, HealthLink BC Files, local service references and links to related provincial health-record and registration services.
Topic search and the HealthLink BC Files are useful when the task is understanding a subject. Service-finding routes answer a different question: where to look for a particular kind of care in British Columbia. The site also describes navigator and professional-information channels, with different schedules for the services. Follow the current service page for access rather than assuming one schedule applies to every role. The provincial context is part of the resource's usefulness, particularly when a general web search gives advice from another country.
