Visitors with health-related interests find the quietness of Galiano and the beauty of its setting to be a healing experience. The island offers a range of health and education options. If you need medical attention on your vacation there is a doctor and a small medical clinic (though there is no pharmacy). Alternatively, you could relax and have your maladies smoothed away with massage therapy, acupressure or Reiki healing, as well as the herbal remedies prepared here. In case of a dire emergency, the ambulance coordinates with the water-taxi or helicopter to speed you to the nearest hospital.
