About
The BC Health Coalition champions a strong public health care system that is there for all of us when we need it. We are a democratic, non-partisan, and consensus-based community of individuals and organizations that span the province of British Columbia. Together we advocate for evidence-based improvements to our public health care system, stimulate public education on health care issues, and drive positive change to our health care system through campaigns across the province.
 |
Our ongoing priorities include: defending public health care from legal attacks; advocating for improvements to home and long-term care services for seniors; producing research to advance evidence-based improvements to our public health care system; pushing for quality, accessible care before profit; and, advocating for team-based primary health care that is rooted in our communities. |
