Medimap data shows average wait times at walk-in clinics in B.C. are some of the longest in Canada. It is no secret to most locals that there is a doctor shortage in Squamish and beyond.

This data just confirms the pressure on the system.

According to health tech company Medimap’s data, patients in Squamish had to wait an average of 80 mins to see a doctor at the Squamish walk-in clinic in 2022.

And that is nothing compared to what folks wait in North Vancouver, which had the highest wait times in B.C. at 160 minutes on average.
