The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) plans, manages, evaluates, and innovates specialized health services with the BC health authorities to provide equitable and cost-effective health care for people throughout the province. Through a strong data and evaluation team, as well as focus on innovation and partnership with academics, PHSA works with other health authorities across BC to provide equitable and cost-effective health care for people who need provincial services such as cancer care, the management of complex mental health issues, or renal care. Our values reflect our commitment to excellence and include: Compassion – Respect – Equity – Courage – Innovation.

PHSA’s work is guided by its purpose to inspire and unite specialized teams to create a healthier province for all, as well as its vision to boldly create an equitable, anti-racist, and culturally safe health care system where everyone thrives. PHSA lives by its values and is guided by the Coast Salish Teachings gifted to the organization by Coast Salish Knowledge Keeper Sulksun (Shane Pointe).
