This innovative, locally governed, registered charitable organization was first established in 2022 following several years of groundwork, to address the shortage of primary care providers. Under the Whistler 360 Health Collaborative Society model, the Collaborative operates a medical clinic, which is professionally managed, with governance from the community. The model is also attractive for primary care providers as it enables them to focus on patient care instead of administration. In collaboration with practitioners and community stakeholders, the board directs the provision of primary and complementary care services to meet the needs of the community. This pioneering approach centres the needs of the community at the heart of the Society’s work.
