What is the P4HC: NC?

The P4HC:NC is the Partners for Healthier Communities Committee: North Cariboo.  So what is it?

To begin with, let's chat about what it is not... 

It is NOT...
... a Non-Profit Society.
... membership based.
... a group that meets monthly.
... governed by a set of Bylaws and Regulations.

The P4HC:NC is a Stakeholder based group composed of people representing non-profits, agencies, and organizations from across the North Cariboo.  It is Co-Chaired by a representative from Northern Health and the Cariboo Regional District.   P4HC's were established by Northern Health and currently there are 21 such committees across the Northern Health Authority.  Of them all the P4HC:NC is the only one that is Regional District based.  Northern Health has recognised that community health is important and to create healthier communities, partnerships and a collaborative approach is the way to go.  P4HC's are one to make good things happen as they are partnerships between Northern Health and local government.  Check out this link for additional information on P4HC's.

The establishment of the P4HC:NC was led by Growing North Cariboo Society; hence why the Minutes of the P4HC:NC are posted on GNC's website.  GNC continues to provide administrative support to the P4HC:NC.

The P4HC:NC is...
... a Stakeholder group.
... open to everyone to join.
.... meeting at least quarterly.
.... operates as per a Terms of Reference.
