About Child Health BC

British Columbia is home to nearly one million children and, geographically, is bigger than the states of Washington, Oregon and California combined.

Across our province, many healthcare providers, including policy makers, health administrators, clinicians, operational and physician leaders, and community partners are actively involved in supporting children, youth and their families achieve the best possible health. As a Health Improvement Network, Child Health BC brings together provincial expertise, regional leadership and community and patient partners to identify opportunities for improvement and facilitate provincial wide solutions to improve the experience and delivery of health services for the children and youth across BC. See partners for more information about Child Health BC’s provincial network.

Child Health BC was established thanks to the generosity of donors to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge Save-On-Foods and other donors across BC for their vision, philanthropy and longstanding commitment to establish Child Health BC. Their contributions will continue to make a difference in the lives of BC’s kids.

Child Health BC is accountable to the Executive Vice President Provincial Clinical Policy, Planning and Partnership at the Provincial Health Services Authority.

Child Health BC’s provincial work, as outlined in the CHBC Action Plan, is undertaken by the CHBC Team and led by Executive Director, Jennifer Scarr.
