"At present, Child Health BC is building regional capacity through educational programs, capital investment in child and youth facilities, equipment purchases, and interim operational funding where necessary. This approach co-brands regional facilities to meet the objectives of a common, high standard of child and youth services across the province as close to the homes of children and their families as is feasible. It has a dedicated staff of experienced leaders in child and youth health and follows a distributed model for network organizational function.

The Child Health BC mandate for population health, its commitment to exceptionally high standards of health services delivery, and the desire for a child and youth lens to guide decision making at many levels is clearly ambitious - but by no means unattainable in British Columbia.
