Cambie Surgery Centre

The Cambie Surgery Centre (CSC) opened in 1996 by a group of internationally renowned doctors and independent investors. With the vision of Dr. Brian Day, it was the first medical facility of its kind in Canada. The founders wanted to build a facility where highly skilled doctors could perform surgery on their patients in a setting that offered them access to the latest technology and emphasized exceptional patient care.

​

Individuals, celebrities, and athletes from around the world have travelled to Vancouver to receive care at the CSC. The Workers Compensation Board (WCB) was one of the first supporters of the CSC. Injured workers continue to be treated at the CSC within weeks, rather than waiting a year or more in the public system. Expedited care has enabled workers to return to work and usual activities as soon as possible, while at the same time allowing WCB to save millions of dollars annually in reduced costs. Other federal and provincial agencies have joined WCB in supporting the centre.
