In support of children from across British Columbia

Child Health BC is a cohesive network dedicated to ensuring the one-million children and youth in British Columbia have access to a consistent and first rate standard of health care, wherever they live in the province.

This network links the province's five health authorities, the Provincial Health Services Authority, health professionals and care facilities committed to excellence in the care of infants, children and youth.  Child Health BC's collaborative approach ensures a quality of care beyond what any one agency can provide alone.

For many families who live outside the Lower Mainland, trips to BC Children's for treatment and follow-up care are costly and time-consuming.  Child Health BC seeks to relieve families of that extra burden through the establishment or expansion of specialized pediatric are services in regional hospitals and clinics, visits to those clinics by BC Children's specialists, and training and education of regional caregivers.

Sunshine Gala 2009 Recap
A Sumptuous Late-Summer Evening

Thank you for our guests, sponsors and volunteers who came together in support of Child Health BC to raise an extraordinary $80,000! View photos from the 2009 Sunshine Gala

The BC Children's Hospital Foundation's third annual Sunshine Gala at the spectacular Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa was an incredible night than tantalized the senses.  Guess took a culinary journey with our sommeliers while exploring local and international wines and a dazzling array of cuisine.  After the culinary adventure, guests danced the night away to the sounds of Maria Manna and Dundan Meiklejohn with the Midnights.
