"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."
