Island Health’s Climate Change Steering Committee is currently developing a new Climate Change and Planetary Health Strategy to identify multi-year priorities and align the organization’s efforts towards a common vision.
Patient partner engagement is critical to understanding what issues are important to patients and the community, the role Island Health should play in addressing climate change, and what new ideas or solutions might exist that we have not considered.
A virtual 1-hour focus group on August 31, 2023 at 10:00 am PST is being held. Patient partners residing on Vancouver Island and the Southern or Northern Gulf Islands are invited to participate.
The focus group will be hosted by Island Health’s Planning Department and include discussion on five key engagement questions. Questions will be sent ahead of time to confirmed attendees. Questions regarding the session can be sent to Rory Allen, Director of Program and Community Planning at Rory.Allen@islandhealth.ca.
