This past fall, we visited the Thompson-Nicola Region for an up-close look at the Community Health Centre model at work. This is a region with a health system under immense pressure. From staff shortages to strains on the Royal Inland Hospital emergency room, this is a region of the province with a need for increased care capacity.
Here’s the good news: The CHC model can address multiple health system constraints at once, and CHCs are already modeling an alternative to traditional primary care right here in the Thompson-Nicola region.
