Our Story
Promoting accessible health care. Because people matter.In November of 2011, we were in a car accident that changed the course of our lives. To make a very long story short, Meg’s ability to work at her job was over. By April 2015, Meg was starting to improve and I was becoming disillusioned with my role in the health authorities; I wanted to address the gaps in services in our local community, quickly and effectively, and in ways I couldn’t in my job at the time. Since moving to South Delta in 2006 and becoming a part of the community we wanted to make an impact. So, in April 2015 Meg and I made the decision for me to leave the health authorities as of June 2015 and open our own integrated health clinic.
As an artist and anthropologist, Meg was exploring the role of art and creativity in helping people recover from mental, physical, and emotional pain. In researching art programs and their benefits, it became clear the positive impact art plays in overall health. She also was aware that many programs were unavailable to people with different abilities, ages, and diagnoses. So, we decided that our clinic would have an art studio in it and would offer programs that brought people of different ages, abilities and diagnoses together. Meg knew the role of art in her own recovery and pain management and she wanted to share that with others.
Alongside You is an integrated health agency headquartered in Ladner, BC, and we serve a wide range of clientele in Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta, Vancouver, Surrey, Langley and surrounding areas. Our clients come from as far as North Vancouver, the TriCities and the Fraser Valley because we offer an integrated health care experience that is compassionate and constructive, professional and personable, and produces results. No doctor referral necessary. The client may self-refer, or be referred by their doctor or another community professional, friend, or family member.
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the community. This is truly where we want to be and are excited for what the future holds.
