 When you're away from home, there's always a chance that something unexpected could happen. It's at times like these when you need to find a local health service like a walk-in clinic, late night pharmacy, or emergency department. You might not know where the closest one is or if it's even open. That's one of the reasons why the province of British Columbia has introduced its first ever official mobile application. It's called the BC Health Service Locator app. You can download it for free from iTunes for your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. To find a health service location like a walk-in clinic, hospital, emergency room, immunization clinic, or after hours pharmacy, just tap Find Health Services at the top of the menu. You will then see the nearby locations right away on the map. If you tap the Services button on the top right, you can see all the different types of health service locations and choose to filter the results by any of these new types. There's also an option to show wheelchair accessible locations. We're now going to look for a walk-in clinic. Tapping on the pin reveals the name and address of the location. You can view all the details of this clinic by tapping on the blue arrow. There's a description of the type of services this clinic provides, as well as the hours of operation, address, and phone number. The BC Health Service Locator app has a few other features as well. The app lets you call 811 to get non-emergency health information and services from anywhere in BC. You can also call 711 for deaf and hearing impaired assistance. And there's a 24-hour toll-free phone number for poison control. The Health Services Locator app is free and easy to use. It lets you find health services near you wherever you are in BC, so you can look after those most important to you. Download the BC Health Services Locator on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad today from the iTunes app store.
