Welcome to the
Public Health Association of British Columbia
The Public Health Association of BC is a voluntary, non-profit, non-government, member driven organization that provides leadership to promote health, well-being and social equity. We fulfill our mission through advocacy, collaboration, education and research and do this work through the spectrum of public health practice; including prevention, promotion, protection and policy.
The Board of Directors is composed of public health leaders from various locales including Health Authorities, the Ministry of Health, post-secondary institutions, and the non-profit sector. The Association was founded in 1953 and has close to 500 members.
In 2019, a culmination of a two-year effort resulted in PHABC’s successful application for charitable status. PHABC is now a registered charity and all funds donated will support our efforts to create a safe, healthy and fair British Columbia for all.
