Chilliwack Obstetrical Group
The Chilliwack Obstetrical Group (COGs) is a group of family doctors who provide prenatal, delivery and postnatal services to women. We provide care in Chilliwack and in Hope. Between us family doctors, we deliver over half of the babies in Chilliwack. We do all our deliveries at the Chilliwack General Hospital.
Our call-based system means that your baby will be delivered by the doctor who is working that day. Your own doctor will see you for all your prenatal (before baby) and postpartum (after baby) visits. Your doctor will also usually see you when you are in the hospital.
Need a Referral to COGs?
If you have a family doctor, please ask your family doctor to refer you to the Chilliwack Obtsetrical Group or you can self-refer by using the form to the right.
If you do not have a family doctor, please self-refer using the form to the right.
Once you submit the form, you will be assigned one of the doctors from the group and should receive this information within 2 weeks. If you have previously been a patient of COGs, please indicate this on the form, so we can assign you the same doctor.
Please refer as soon you are pregnant.
