Membership Services
The BC Care Provider's Association provides a variety of services for our members, including:
- Policy Development - With your input, the Association completed an Action Plan that outlines realistic, practical and comprehensive solutions that will improve the quality of senior's care in BC.
- Ongoing Consultation & Collaboration - Our success depends on open and ongoing communication with you and other key stakeholders in the senior's care sector. We are committed to providing regular progress reports on the Action Plan and inviting feedback on emerging issues.
- Government Relations - Our staff and Board of Directors have been blazing a trail across government for the past year. We have met regularly with Cabinet Ministers, senior health officials, MPs and MLAs from all parties and the BC Ombudsman.
- Special Projects - In collaboration with our members and other health care stakeholders, the Association develops and implements individual initiatives that support our action plan goals. Most recently, these have focused on employment training, labour relations and intergenerational projects.
- Media Relations - We are in regular contact with BC media in all regions of the province. Through news releases, www.bccare.ca and our regular newsletters we are communicating your priorities.
- Annual Conference - One of the highlights of the year is our annual general meeting the Association organizes. In addition to being a great networking opportunity, the conference is an opportunity to highlight our issues and celebrate our progress.
- Advocacy - When members are having issues with local health authorities or the BC government, our Association and Board of Directors are there to provide support.
Our members understand that there is strength in numbers and we make gains as a collective voice that individually would be very difficult to achieve.
