Please check out the Child Health BC Annual Report 2008 – Opening Doors to Child and Youth Services in BC. Feedback appreciated! 
"Child Health BC is working with health care leaders from across BC to ensure BC's children and their families receive care closer to home, reducing the stress associated with travelling significant distances for health care services. BC's children and their families can receive care closer to home because Child Health BC is helping to establish and equip facilities for specialized pediatric care in regional hospitals and clinics. The stories of some of these projects are told in this 2008 Annual Report. Child Health BC is supporting subspecialists to visit BC's diverse regions and is providing training in pediatric care and mentorship to health professionals across BC. These efforts have increased the capacity for high quality pediatric care in every region."

The official opening event for the new audiology clinic at Prince Rupert Regional Hospital was a resounding success.
The new clinic will offer comprehensive community and hospital based audiology services to a range of clients with an emphasis on infants, children and youth and their families living in Prince Rupert, the coastal villages and on the Queen Charlotte Islands.
Our goal at Child Health BC is to ensure all BC kids have access to a consistent standard of pediatric care. Improving access to specialized audiology services for children in Northwestern BC takes us one step closer to attaining that goal.

Minister of Children and Family Development and Okanagan-Vernon MLA Tom Christensen joined representatives of Interior Health, Child Health BC and NONA to officially kick off Child Health BC's telehealth project. Telehealth videoconferencing technology helps to overcome barriers of geography, transportation infrastructure, or socio-economic disparity by enabling clinical consultation, continuing professional education, and healthcare management.Telehealth services save children and their families days of travel and related expenses, since they can access health specialists from their own community rather than traveling to larger centres across the province, said Christensen. Telehealth videoconferencing technology is now in place in more than 100 communities in BC compared to 11 communities in 2001, part of this government's commitment to improve rural and remote residents' access to health services and specialists.
