Shoppers Drug Mart Brings Pharmacy Care Clinics to Surrey

  • Shoppers Drug Mart Brings Pharmacy Care Clinics to Surrey

For decades, Shoppers Drug Mart has been a trusted name in Canadian healthcare, known not only for its accessibility but also for its commitment to innovation.

Now, the brand is taking another significant step forward with the launch of its Pharmacy Care Clinics, designed to bring convenient, personalized healthcare directly to local communities.

 At a time when access to timely medical care is top of mind for British Columbians, these new clinics are reshaping what pharmacy services can mean. 

No longer limited to dispensing prescriptions, Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacists are now empowered to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of minor ailments, while providing ongoing support for chronic conditions.

A New Era of Pharmacy Care

The inspiration behind the Pharmacy Care Clinics is simple: Canadians want and need more from their pharmacies. These clinics bridge the gap by offering high-quality, patient-centered healthcare in an environment people already know and trust.

Patients visiting the clinics can be treated for common conditions such as urinary tract infections, pink eye, sprains and strains, hay fever, cold sores, and rashes.

Pharmacists are also able to support individuals with chronic disease management, including diabetes care, and provide essential services such as flu, COVID-19, and shingles vaccinations, and help with contraception options morning sickness and sleep disorders

Crucially, these services are free of charge with a valid BC health card, making them both accessible and affordable. Patients can book ahead through the PC Health app or by calling the clinic, but walk-ins are always welcome—a flexibility that ensures help is available when it’s needed most.

Designed with Patients in Mind

What sets the Pharmacy Care Clinics apart is the thoughtful attention to patient experience. The clinics are designed to be welcoming and comfortable, with child-friendly exam rooms, accessible waiting areas, and an on-site care concierge who guides patients through every step of their visit. Many patients are surprised not only by the scope of conditions pharmacists can treat but also by how quickly they are seen. Same-day care is often available, and the convenience of filling a prescription immediately afterward ensures that patients leave with both answers and solutions in hand.

Leading the Way in Surrey

The clinics launched in Surrey have already drawn an enthusiastic response. The Shoppers Drug Mart on King George Boulevard was the pioneer site, quickly followed by the Panorama Village location. Both have seen immediate demand, with patients expressing gratitude for timely, local care.

Situated near Surrey Memorial Hospital and within a thriving medical hub, the King George Boulevard location is uniquely positioned to serve patients transitioning from hospital care or visiting nearby doctors. Panorama Village, meanwhile, is deeply rooted in the community it serves, offering not just healthcare but a sense of belonging and trust.

In addition to the King George Boulevard and Panorama Village locations, five more Pharmacy Care Clinics are already open in Surrey

A Local Face of Leadership: Sukhvir Seehra

Behind these clinics is pharmacist and owner Sukhvir Seehra, a familiar face in Surrey’s healthcare landscape. With more than 20 years at Shoppers Drug Mart, Sukhvir oversees both the King George Boulevard and Panorama Village stores, now home to two of the city’s first Pharmacy Care Clinics.

What distinguishes his leadership is not just experience but connection. Born and raised in Surrey, Sukhvir has witnessed the community’s tremendous growth and feels deeply committed to its future. His team reflects that same community spirit, speaking multiple languages including Punjabi, Hindi, Tagalog, Mandarin, and Cantonese—ensuring that every patient feels understood and supported. For Sukhvir, these clinics are about more than medicine. “At the end of the day, it’s about community,” he says. “We want every patient to feel cared for, supported, and confident that they can get help close to home.”

Looking Ahead

For patients, the message is clear: high-quality healthcare is closer than ever. Whether it’s a minor ailment, a routine vaccination, or long-term support for a chronic condition, the Pharmacy Care Clinics at Shoppers Drug Mart are ready to help—making healthcare not only more accessible, but more human.
