- To advocate for a 7 day per week health care model that provides emergency and urgent care services in addition to primary health.
- To work towards a steering committee, made up of healthcare providers, Interior Health, local physicians, HAWC, representatives from each of the villages and First Nations communities within our catchment area.
- To collaborate with Interior Health, Division of Family Practice to assist wherever possible in the recruitment of all healthcare professionals required to provide services to the 7 day healthcare model.
We support recruitment and retention efforts by Interior Health and we will assist to support health care professionals of all disciplines to adapt, integrate, live and work in our communities through positive promotion, the benefits of living in the area, and its resources. We listen to all of our community members and we tell their story and try to speak for them when it comes to healthcare.
