As our population ages, it is crucial to have a proactive approach to increasing patient care needs.  PGG focuses on comprehensive assessments to improve the health and quality of life. Health promotion and prevention are fundamental in preserving independence and our team of specialists works collaboratively to achieve this. Our aim is to improve access to specialist care for all British Columbians and we welcome referrals from throughout the province.
