The website, www.HealthLinkBC.ca, provides medically-approved information on more than 5,000 health topics, symptoms, and over-the-counter and prescription drugs and offers tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It also offers an integrated search and mapping function to more than 6,100 health services to help British Columbians find health services close to their home communities. Selected service information is also available on the BC Health Services Locator app for Apple handheld devices.
