BC Canada Trans resources exploding on to the scene.

New site I just became aware of.

If you're like me and you live outside of the GVRD then you may not know that you can visit a doctor in vancouver via "Telepresence" at your local health authority or hospital.

We need to make these people aware of the cost and inconvenience of driving all the way to vancouver when we can go to our local hospitals and GPs for tests that need to be performed and for the rest we can go to an office at a hospital and sit in front of a video camera and microphone and talk to these doctors.

I spoke with Stacy at Transcare BC and she told me that doctors like Endocrinologists were available by telepresence.

I spoke to my two psychologists for my final SRS approval by telepresence. It was painless. They had all my records and getting approved was just a formality.

Please take time to write to the email above. Make them aware that you aren't in the GVRD and want services where you are.

Thanks,
Dayna.

I'm going to try to attach an application for a speech therapy program. We need as many people as we can to apply to encourage them to have a telepresence session.
