ABOUT US
Through research, collaboration with industry experts, and data-driven analysis, we are committed to transforming the landscape of healthcare.
OUR STORY
With some of the longest clinic wait times in the country and almost one million people in B.C. without a primary care provider, access to preventative cancer screening has become a significant challenge. CanScreen, the first dedicated cancer screening clinic in the province, aims to change that by providing easy access to routine publicly-funded cancer screening services.
At CanScreen, we understand the importance of accessible and reliable healthcare. Founded and operated by dedicated family physicians, our goal is to provide a seamless virtual screening service—delivering timely, accurate information to support your well-being.
We are committed to making screening available to all B.C. residents, especially those without a family doctor or nurse practitioner or those who face challenges accessing primary care.
