**About Provincial Health Services Authority**

**BC Children's Hospital (BCCH)** is ranked among the top pediatric specialized hospitals in the world. We are the only dedicated paediatric hospital in the province of British Columbia. We care for the province's most acutely ill or injured children and youth, provide developmental and rehabilitation services to children and youth throughout BC, and offer a broad range of health services and specialized programs both locally and via telehealth/outreach. BCCH is a leading acute care teaching facility, and conducts research to advance health and care through the BC Children's Hospital Research Institute and in partnership with the University of British Columbia. We are a ChildKind certified hospital.

**BCCH** is a program within **the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA)** which plans, manages and evaluates specialty and province-wide health care services across BC.

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) plans, manages and evaluates specialized health services with the BC health authorities to provide equitable and cost-effective health care for people throughout the province. Our values reflect our commitment to excellence and include: Respect people - Be compassionate - Dare to innovate - Cultivate partnerships - Serve with purpose.

PHSA and BCCH are committed to employment equity, encouraging all qualified individuals to apply. We recognize that our ability to provide the best care for our diverse patient populations relies on a rich diversity of skills, knowledge, background and experience, and value a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Governments’ unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.

PHSA has been gifted six Coast Salish teachings which direct us in our work and in our relationships with each other. Thee eat “Truth”, Eyhh Slaxin “Good medicine”, Nuts a maht “We are One”, Whax hooks in shqwalowin “open your hearts and your mind”, Kwum kwum stun shqwalowin “make up your mind to be strong”, Tee ma thit “Do Your Best”.

At this time of Truth and Reconciliation, when we are committing to the B.C. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act legislation, we must look at and act on things differently. At BCCH, we are committed to eliminating Indigenous Specific Racism in our health services and to creating cultural safety for Indigenous people who work with us or require our services. We are also committed to embracing and welcoming diversity, ensuring equity and enhancing inclusion. Care delivery at BCCH is trauma informed and
