Avee Health was built to make primary care easier to reach for everyone in British Columbia, not only for people who live close to a big-city clinic. Our latest numbers show that this is happening: 53.1% of all completed Avee visits since we began serving British Columbians were for patients whose registered location is outside Metro Vancouver.
In other words, more than half of the care Avee delivers now reaches communities beyond Metro Vancouver. Metro Vancouver accounts for about 46% of completed visits, and the location of a small share, under 0.5%, is still being verified.
A Province-Wide Picture
Avee patients now come from 28 regions outside Metro Vancouver, from the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island to the Northern Interior and the North Coast. The regions with the largest share of all completed Avee visits in BC are:
- Fraser Valley: 14.3%
- Capital Region, including Victoria: 9.6%
- Thompson–Nicola: 4.1%
- Nanaimo: 3.8%
- Cariboo: 3.4%
- Fraser–Fort George: 2.9%
- Central Okanagan: 2.6%
The reach extends well beyond these larger centres, to Peace River, Alberni–Clayoquot, the North Coast, Kitimat–Stikine and Bulkley–Nechako. Avee has also served patients in some of the most remote parts of the province, including Mount Waddington, the Northern Rockies, the Central Coast and the Stikine region.
Why It Matters
For many people outside the Lower Mainland, seeing a primary care provider can mean long waits or long drives. Virtual care removes much of that distance. A patient in Prince George, Port Alberni or Fort St. John can connect with a provider from home, at a time that works for them.
These numbers show that demand for accessible primary care is strong across the whole province, and that people in smaller and more remote communities are choosing Avee to meet it. Reimagining access to primary care means reaching people wherever they live, and more than half of our visits now do exactly that.
