**Job Description**:
In accordance with the Vision, Purpose, and Values, and strategic direction of the Vancouver Island Health Authority (Island Health) patient and staff safety is a priority and a responsibility shared by everyone; as such, the requirement to continuously improve quality and safety is inherent in all aspects of this position.

The Primary Care Network (PCN) Director is responsible for decision making that affects/impacts the development of the British Columbia (BC) Ministry of Health's Primary Care Network Initiative.

PCNs are foundational to achieving this vision. The provision of culturally agile care, grounded in a more holistic understanding of health and wellness, can work to increase attachment rates, and, more importantly, improve health outcomes.
