About Provincial Health Services Authority

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) is responsible for planning, managing, and evaluating specialized health services in collaboration with BC health authorities to ensure equitable and cost-effective healthcare for the province's population. Our core values emphasize excellence, including respect for individuals, compassion, innovation, partnership, and purposeful service.
