The Hornby Denman Healthcare Society, now Hornby Denman Health, was formed in 1979. Since then it has been delivering services to all residents of Denman and Hornby Islands, especially for seniors.
From their start with a small number of staff it has grown to an organization that employs over 50 people between the two islands.
Once a month the Executive Director of Hornby Denman Health meets with representatives from all organisations that play a role in healthcare on.
The Annex on Hornby
On Hornby, Hornby Denman Health has a small supplemental building that is open for visiting practitioners. The goal is to have a different service there every day of the week.
Currently, a physiotherapist and a chiropractor are available once a week and a foot care nurse comes once a month. Starting soon, an acupuncturist will be working in the Annex once a week.
