HPN Clinic
The BC Home Parenteral Nutrition (BC HPN) Program provides support to both adult and pediatric patients at our HPN Clinics located in Vancouver.
Adult HPN Clinic
Clinic visits are typically 30-60 minutes long and will include the HPN doctor, nurse and dietitian. Please note that we do our best to keep appointments on time, however, some clinic visits may go longer than expected and appointment start times may be delayed.

All in-person clinic appointments with the Adult HPN team are located in the Rapid Access Clinic on the 5th Floor of the Burrard Building at St. Paul’s Hospital in downtown Vancouver. The address of the clinic is 1081 Burrard Street, Vancouver BC.
The clinic is in the Rapid Access Clinic on the 5th floor of the Burrard Building. If you enter through the Burrard Street entrance (main entrance), take the elevator across from the Gift Shop to the 5th floor. Once on the 5th floor, the Rapid Access Clinic is immediately on your right.

Where to park
It is difficult to find parking downtown. Please give yourself enough time to find parking before your appointment.
Parking at the hospital itself is limited. Depending on the time of your appointment, you may have difficulty parking there. There is metered parking on the side streets around the hospital. There are also several pay parking lots near the hospital.
Virtual clinic visits
The adult HPN team may do some follow up clinic visits via phone or zoom for patients who are medically stable and do not require in-person assessment. Telehealth or videoconferencing appointments may also be available depending on your location.
