Sooke Region Community Health Centre/Urgent and Primary Care Centre – Service Delivery Working Group

The Board of Directors of the Sooke Region Communities Health Network, together with the West Coast Family Medical Clinic, are working to establish the Sooke Region CHC/UPCC, to open in 2025 at the earliest. We are working with the Ministry of Health and Island Health to finalize a service delivery model. Since March 2023, this work has involved a patient voice partner and we are looking for someone to continue this work. We are looking for someone who lives and resides in the Sooke Region (from Scia’new First Nation to Port Renfrew/Pacheedaht First Nation) who is interested in helping us to establish team-based integrated health services, accessible to all residents of the Sooke Region. The opportunity would require attendance at a 2-3 hour Working Group meeting, once a month, by Zoom or other internet platform, for at least a year.
