Common spaces, with uncommon results

Just as our participants span a wide range of needs, the Dr. Peter Centre offers an equally broad spectrum of services, from day health to long-term residential care, keeping them all connected to their community of health.

We have over 500 participants registered in our day health program, with backgrounds that reflect a very diverse section of Vancouver society. In addition to offering two hot meals every day, this program offers a range of therapeutic programs, including art, music, and recreation. Individual and group counselling, including special programs for women and Indigenous people, help address the often multi-layered traumas our participants face.

Our clinical team see over 40,000 health visits per year. Since 2002, the Centre has also been internationally recognized as the first health care facility in North America to integrate supervised injection services into its model of care.
