New Indigenous Community Health Centre to open in uptown Port Alberni
By Denise Titian / April 14, 2026

A new health care service facility will soon open in uptown Port Alberni. The facility is expected to ease the strain on a local healthcare system that suffers from insufficient family physicians to serve the population and long wait lines at the hospital emergency room and walk-in clinics.

The Indigenous Community Health Centre (ICHC) was developed through a partnership involving the Port Alberni Friendship Center, Port Alberni Primary Care Network, Island Health, and the BC Ministry of Health. According to PAFC Executive Director Cyndi Stevens, the ICHC aims to enhance primary health care services in the region as part of the Ministry of Health's Primary Care Strategy.

“This is exactly the kind of progress we want to see,” said Josie

Osborne, MLA for Mid Island – Pacific Rim. “A health care system that listens, that reflects the people it serves, and that is built in true partnership with communities. When communities lead, outcomes improve for everyone, and I am so proud to support that work here at home,” she added.

Located in a convenient uptown Port Alberni location, the ICHC, when it opens next year, will provide comprehensive, team-based, culturally safe primary care services for 4,150 unattached patients in Port Alberni. An unattached patient is someone who does not have a primary care provider, such as a family doctor or nurse practitioner. Without a consistent, long-term relationship with a clinician who manages their ongoing health history, referrals, and preventive care, these patients must rely on hospital emergency care or walk-in clinics. The new clinic will be open to any unattached patients in Port Alberni, as those in need are not required to have Indigenous ancestry.

This past of a province-wide effort from health officials, Indigenous agencies and community partners to establish primary care networks (PCNs).
