Who We Are
The BCCDC Foundation for Public Health leads efforts to improve public health in BC by developing and supporting evidence-based initiatives that have an immediate impact on the health of British Columbians. We see prevention and health promotion as the keys to keeping our population safe and healthy.
What We Do
We pursue and achieve positive health for our province. One way is by forming active partnerships with aligned individuals, non-governmental organizations, governments, and businesses. Our primary partner is the BC Centre for Disease Control.
Message From Our Director
“By advancing our mandate in prevention and health promotion, by fostering equity and recognizing positive health is also inclusive of our place in the world around us, and by placing a healthy human at the core of our vision, I believe we can truly make a difference in the health outcomes of BC and beyond. I hope you will join us on the journey.”
– Kristy Kerr, Executive Director –
