How to Get From Marpole to Artemis Wellness Clinic
Marpole sits directly across the Fraser River from Richmond, which makes Artemis one of the closest multidisciplinary clinics outside the City of Vancouver itself. Three practical routes:
Driving — Knight Street Bridge (recommended for most appointments): from central Marpole near Granville Street and 70th Avenue, head east on 70th to Knight Street, then south across the Knight Street Bridge into Richmond. Continue south on Knight, turn west onto Bridgeport Road, then south on No. 3 Road. Approximately 7 km, 12 minutes in light-to-moderate traffic. Add 5–10 minutes during morning or afternoon rush.
Driving — Oak Street Bridge (alternative): if you live in west Marpole near Oak Street, the Oak Street Bridge into Richmond is closer. Cross Oak Street Bridge to SW Marine Drive (Sea Island side), then follow Bridgeport Road east to No. 3 Road, then south to the clinic. About 8 km, 13–15 minutes.
Canada Line SkyTrain (recommended in winter, during rush hour, or if you do not drive): walk or bus to Marine Drive Station at Marpole’s southern edge (the station is at Cambie Street and SW Marine Drive). Take the Canada Line southbound — two stops to Brighouse Station: Marine Drive → Bridgeport → Aberdeen → Brighouse. Total transit time approximately 12–15 minutes plus a 2-minute walk west from Brighouse Station to the clinic entrance. Frequent service, every 6–10 minutes most of the day.
Bus: TransLink routes serving Marpole include the R4 41st Avenue RapidBus (transfer at Marine Drive Station for Canada Line) and various local routes connecting to the Canada Line. For most patients, driving or the SkyTrain is faster than a direct bus, but transit options exist for accessibility.
Why Marpole Patients Choose Artemis
Marpole is a long-established South Vancouver neighbourhood with a notably mixed demographic — significant senior populations who have lived here for decades, established Filipino and Chinese communities, growing numbers of young families along the Cambie corridor, and many residents who work or shop in Richmond regularly. For many Marpole households, Richmond is already part of weekly life — Aberdeen Centre, Lansdowne Centre, Richmond Centre, T&T Supermarket, Yaohan Centre. Adding a wellness appointment to an existing Richmond errand is logistically efficient.
Multilingual care. Owner and lead acupuncturist Mandy Tam (R.Ac, R.TCM.P) speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, and English fluently. For patients in Marpole’s Chinese community — particularly older patients who may prefer to discuss healthcare matters in their first language — being able to describe symptoms accurately, understand treatment options, and navigate ICBC paperwork in Mandarin or Cantonese matters. Filipino patients in Marpole will also recognize team RMT names familiar in the community: Samuel Cabuay and Jonae Ablao, both Tagalog-speaking RMTs.
Trilingual website resources. Read about ICBC, RMT, acupuncture, and condition-specific guides in English, Simplified Chinese (中文健康资讯), or Punjabi (ਸਿਹਤ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ) before your visit.
Five regulated disciplines under one roof. Most single-discipline clinics in Marpole offer only one or two services. Artemis offers all five — Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and TCM, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, and Kinesiology — coordinated by one team sharing one chart per patient. For complex situations — a motor vehicle injury that needs both physio and acupuncture, or chronic neck pain that benefits from RMT plus chiropractic — having all five under one roof saves you from running between separate clinics on different days. See our coordinated 5-discipline care model explained for how this works in practice.
ICBC-approved with direct billing. Knight Street Bridge and Oak Street Bridge are high-traffic crossings where motor vehicle collisions happen daily. If you have been in an accident, we are an ICBC-approved active rehab clinic and direct bill ICBC for all five disciplines under Enhanced Care. No out-of-pocket cost for pre-approved treatment.
Senior-friendly accessibility. Ground-level building with elevator access, no stairs at clinic entry. Plain-English (or Mandarin/Cantonese) explanations of treatment plans for older patients. Family members are welcome to attend appointments to help with communication or transportation logistics.

Yes. Marine Drive Station sits at Cambie Street and SW Marine Drive on Marpole’s south edge — walking distance from much of the neighbourhood, or a short bus ride from west Marpole. The Canada Line runs every 6–10 minutes most of the day, and Brighouse Station is just two stops south. Total door-to-door transit time for most Marpole addresses is 25–35 minutes including walking — often faster than driving during rush hour.

Yes. Many Marpole patients combine appointments to make the trip across the bridge worthwhile — for example, 45 minutes of physiotherapy followed immediately by 30 minutes of targeted RMT. One drive, one parking spot, one chart shared across disciplines.
I am a senior in Marpole — is the clinic accessible?
