The Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc), in conjunction with the Rural Education Action Plan (REAP), seeks to improve the health of rural people and communities of British Columbia by:
These goals are achieved through communication, facilitation, collaboration, evaluation, and sharing of best practices.
RCCbc supports and develops provincial initiatives by engaging and coordinating with rural healthcare providers to facilitate the development of local and/or regional solutions, frameworks, and networks. Though rural-focused, RCCbc sees value in applying rural solutions to benefit all health professionals facing similar challenges.
The Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues (JSC) provides oversight to RCCbc and invites BC’s health authorities to provide input into RCCbc activities. RCCbc collaborates with health authorities, bringing a province-wide focus to common health initiatives and issues.
RCCbc links rural communities to the JSC by responding to the expressed needs of ‘front line’ health practitioners. It links the JSC to rural communities by contributing to rural health policy development.
REAP supports both UBC and rural physicians through funding and coordination of programs that provide rural medical education training opportunities.
