This month, we’re introducing a new feature in our newsletter, called “Innovation Station”. It’s our chance to tell you about one of more than 100 (and counting) innovations—creative solutions—that rural British Columbia (BC) communities have developed to address local healthcare challenges. All innovations shared by local organizations were available on RCCbc’s Innovations website, curated by our Rural Site Visits project team as they visit all 201 RSA communities in BC. (Edit: The website is no longer active, but will be relaunched in the near future). 

In our first instalment of “Innovation Station”, find out how the Northern Medical Program is driving good health home to truckers by meeting them exactly where they are.

If you’re looking for ideas, big or small, to improve healthcare in your community, but aren’t sure where to start, reach out to our Innovations Concierge, Tracey DeLeeuw at [email protected]. Tracey can recommend innovations to explore, facilitate connections between you and other innovators, or just talk through what issues you wish to address.
