The First Nations Health Authority is pleased to release the British Columbia results of the 2008-2010 First Nations Regional Health Survey and Summary Finding documents ‘Healthy Children, Healthy Families, Healthy Communities’.
Information found here comes directly from 36 of 203 BC First Nation communities and gives us a greater understanding of the progress we have made since the last Regional Health Survey in 2002-03. It is an opportunity for BC First Nations, health professionals, policy makers, government, partners, scholars and citizens to get an important updated insight into how our communities feel about their wellness, while exploring causal factors that relate to the Social Determinants of Health. The information in this report will support the planning, policy and strategic efforts of many organizations in moving forward to bring to life our vision of healthy, self-determining and vibrant BC First Nations children, families and communities.
