SUMMARY:The Promise of Team-Based Primary Health Care
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives\, BC Health Coalition and the Health Sciences Association are pleased to invite you to a roundtable on community health centres on February 1\, 2019:\nThe Promise of Team-Based Primary Health Care\nThe importance of Community Health Centres in BC’s primary care reforms\nThis is a half-day\, invitational workshop that focuses on community health centres (CHCs). CHCs have been an effective but under-valued model for delivering community-governed\, team-based primary health care for decades in Canada and the US. One of the unique features of the model is its strong focus on the social determinants of health and population health. \nAs BC moves to support a role for CHCs within a larger agenda for reforming primary care\, what can we learn from other jurisdictions where CHCs are integrated into the broader primary care system? How can we support CHCs in BC to be leaders in improving the quality of care for the entire health system? \nJoin us to hear from speakers from BC\, Saskatchewan\, Ontario and Oregon state about the key role CHCs play in providing responsive\, team-based primary care that is also community-led and particularly effective in addressing the unmet needs of under-serviced and vulnerable populations (in particular Indigenous\, rural\, low-income and newcomer communities). \n\nParticipation by video or phone will be available for those outside the Lower Mainland who cannot attend in person. Please contact Thi Vu (thi@policyalternatives.ca) if you are interested in joining part of the meeting by phone or video\, and do not register in the link below.\n\nThe afternoon will also provide opportunities for networking and strategizing to ensure that a strong CHC sector plays a central role in the provincial government’s primary care reforms. \nTo register for this invitational workshop\, please visit https://www.ccpabc.ca/chc-roundtable_2019

SUMMARY:The Importance of Community Health Centres: Scaling Up Team-Based Primary Care in BC
DESCRIPTION:The BC Health Coalition\, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and Health Sciences Association are pleased to present a public event on:\nThe Importance of Community Health Centres: Scaling Up Team-Based Primary Care in BC\nCommunity Health Centres (CHCs) have been an effective model for delivering team-based\, community-governed primary health care in Canada and the US for decades.  Last year BC’s provincial government announced that CHCs will play a key role in BC’s strategy for primary health care reform in the province. \nFor many organizations and communities across the province\, this is exciting news. CHCs have the capacity to fundamentally transform the ways that we organize and deliver primary health care\, and CHCs provide the kind of care that so many in BC want: care that is holistic and responsive to our needs as communities as well as individuals. \nThe province’s commitment to CHCs is a valuable opportunity for the public to shape primary health care at the community level and raises some important questions: \nWhat can we learn from other jurisdictions where community health centres are integrated into the broader primary care system? Why are CHCs particularly effective in addressing the unmet needs of under-serviced and vulnerable populations (in particular Indigenous\, rural\, low income and newcomer communities)? How can we work together to ensure they play a similar role in BC? \nJoin us for an evening of discussion and sharing about the experiences of community health centres in Canada and abroad and how we can work together to make sure CHCs play a transformative role in BC. \nThis is a free\, public event\, but space is limited.
