It’s about a better future for everyone.

In partnership with First Nations and Indigenous health service organizations, B.C. is working to advance the health and wellness of Indigenous people, families and communities.

Together, we’re taking actions to create a more integrated, culturally appropriate, safe, and effective health system for all.

“Having the opportunity to work in Vancouver Coastal Health, I am not only getting exposed to the facilities and world-class health care, but I get to enjoy the scenic views here in Vancouver. It’s been amazing for me to stay here… I see myself working in Vancouver Coastal Health for a long time.”

“There’s no better place to pursue health-care excellence. In B.C., you’ll discover a rich professional environment for nursing – with collaboration and partnerships at every level of care and administration, and policy creating the best possible environments for the patients we serve.”

“I was born in Manila, Philippines. My family and I decided to come to Canada because of our children. There is always difficulty moving to a new country, but the end goal is worth it. British Columbia makes me feel like I am home.”

“The government of B.C. is making important improvements to the public health-care system, including increasing staff wages, hiring more workers, and improving access to community health-care. As health professionals, we have a better chance here of delivering the care that our patients and families need.”
