The Rural Voices Gathering will take place from November 20 to 27, co-hosted by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc), First Nations Health Authority and Health Quality BC.
The province-wide event will bring together and amplify the voices of rural, remote, First Nations and Métis communities in British Columbia relative to:
• The Rural and Remote Health Strategy being developed by the BC Ministry of Health
• Transportation for health services
• Education and training for health care providers in rural communities
• Hybrid health care including peer-to-peer virtual support, in-person and virtual patient consultations
In 2020, RCCbc gathered people from across the province for The BC Rural and First Nations Health and Wellness Summit, a two-day virtual summit which saw over 900 participants bring their perspectives to 57 community partnership tables.
This fall, the Rural Voices Gathering will provide an opportunity to reflect and review progress, explore the current context and move forward together.
