Healthcare That Actually Has Time For You.

We're a Nurse Practitioner–led preventive wellness clinic in Richmond, BC, built around proactive, personalized healthcare. Longer visits, priority access, and prevention-focused care — all in one simple membership. Services are provided by licensed Nurse Practitioners within scope of practice.

Walk-ins and virtual apps are built for speed, not relationships. You might wait hours to be seen, only to have a rushed 10-minute visit with someone who doesn't know your history.

Arden Health is different. We give you:

Continuity — you'll see the same clinician who knows you and your family.

Time — appointments are 30 minutes, so you never feel rushed.

Prevention — we look ahead, spotting issues early instead of just treating symptoms.

Access — priority scheduling, typically same or next-day appointments based on availability.

It's healthcare that feels personal again — designed around you, not the system.

Arden Health was born from a simple question: why has healthcare lost its personal touch? Too many families in BC were left without a family doctor, waiting weeks for rushed appointments, or repeating their story at walk-ins that never felt connected.

We wanted to bring back the kind of care where your clinician knows you, has time for you, and helps you stay ahead of health issues instead of chasing them after the fact. Arden Health is our way of re-imagining preventive wellness — personal, proactive, and always there when you need it.

Licensed Nurse Practitioners — advanced clinicians who can diagnose, prescribe, and manage care for most preventive wellness needs.

Nurse Practitioners are advanced practice clinicians with graduate-level education (a master's degree or higher) and extensive clinical training. In BC, they are licensed and regulated by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives.

Within their scope of practice, they can:

• Diagnose and treat illnesses
• Prescribe medications
• Order and interpret tests
• Manage chronic conditions
• Provide preventive care and health planning

The key difference is that NPs are trained to combine medical expertise with a holistic, patient-centered approach. They often spend more time with patients, focusing not just on what's wrong, but on keeping you well.

Yes. In British Columbia, Nurse Practitioners are authorized to act as a primary care provider and can serve as your main point of care for most health needs — from diagnosing acute conditions to managing chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension.

Within their scope of practice, NPs can:

• Prescribe medications
• Refer you to specialists
• Order labs and imaging
• Provide comprehensive health assessments
• Oversee your long-term health management

All NPs practicing in BC are registered with the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) and work within an evidence-based scope of practice.

That's fine. Many members join Arden for faster access, longer visits, and prevention-focused care, while still keeping their existing doctor.

NPs are trained to manage many chronic and complex conditions within their scope of practice. When needed, they'll refer you to a specialist and stay closely involved to ensure continuity.

Many patients find NP care to be equal — and often superior — in terms of attention and thoroughness. Research shows patient satisfaction with NP-led care is consistently high, particularly for preventive wellness.

With Arden Health, your NP will:

• Spend more time in each appointment (30 minutes instead of 10)
• Focus on prevention and education, not just treatment
• Get to know you and your family personally
• Partner with you on long-term health goals

For complex issues or care outside NP scope, NPs consult and collaborate with specialists to ensure you get the right expertise at the right time. The result is a level of care that feels personal, proactive, and responsive.

Because care shouldn't be unpredictable. One flat monthly fee covers comprehensive preventive health and wellness services that work for your life.

Up to 8 comprehensive preventive wellness visits per year (with option to upgrade), priority scheduling with typically same or next-day access, extended appointments, direct messaging with your clinician for wellness support, annual preventive exams, and preventive care for the whole family.

Membership starts from $109/month for individuals, with couple and family plans available. One predictable monthly fee, no surprises.

Lab work, specialist referrals, and all medically necessary care remain covered by MSP at no cost. Your membership covers non-insured preventive and wellness services — comprehensive preventive visits, extended appointment times, priority scheduling, and prevention-first wellness optimization.

MSP covers medically necessary care — but not your time, convenience, or proactive wellness. With Arden, you're investing in same or next-day access when you need it, 30-minute appointments where you're actually heard, and preventive care that keeps you healthy instead of just treating you when you're sick. No more waiting weeks for a 10-minute appointment or repeating your story to a different provider each visit. You get continuity, time, and wellness support designed around your life — not a waitlist.

Most traditional extended health plans in BC don't cover membership fees for preventive wellness clinics like Arden. However, many employers offer Health Care Spending Accounts (HCSAs), which are more flexible. In many cases, you can use your HCSA to reimburse your Arden Health membership.

We're also exploring partnerships with insurers as this model of care becomes more widely recognized.

We reserve a number of appointments each day for urgent needs, and members can typically be seen same or next day depending on clinical urgency and availability. Our goal is to ensure you get timely access when you need it most.

Most visits are 30 minutes. No rushing — just the time you need to feel heard and cared for.

Yes. Choose in-person or secure virtual visits — whatever fits your schedule.

We guide members on after-hours needs and ensure follow-up care. True emergencies should always go to 911 or the ER.

A deep look at your health: lifestyle review, bloodwork (covered by MSP), screenings, and optional advanced tests like DEXA or lung function. It's designed for prevention and early detection.

Your NP will refer you directly and coordinate care — just as your dedicated health partner would.

Your NP can prescribe and renew most medications within their scope of practice. Refills are simple to request in person or online.

We're opening where the demand is highest. Currently, Richmond is the leading candidate for our first clinic location in 2026, with Vancouver's Mount Pleasant and Fairview areas also under consideration. Over 200 families have already joined our waitlist, helping us determine the best location to serve the Lower Mainland. Your waitlist signup acts as a vote for your neighborhood.

Virtual visits are available anywhere in BC. If you move out of province, we'll help transfer your care.
