Great speaking with the media today about the importance of Community Paramedicine in BC.

This program brings care directly into people’s homes, particularly in rural, remote and Indigenous communities where gaps in access to healthcare can be significant.

BCEHS’s own reporting has highlighted the success of Community Paramedicine and the important role it plays in connecting patients with healthcare professionals they may otherwise struggle to access. It’s a proven example of how paramedics can help fill gaps in our healthcare system, strengthen preventative care and keep people healthier in their own communities.

We believe that success should be properly funded, expanded and protected.

Want to know more about Community Paramedicine and how this integral program can be expanded in your community? We’re working with and .bc to protect and strengthen Community Paramedicine across BC.

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

Behind every call for help is a person, a family, a friend or a colleague who may be carrying more than we can see. And sometimes, the first responders answering those calls are carrying more than we realize too.

Check in on the people around you. Ask how they’re really doing. Listen when they answer. And if you’re struggling yourself, please reach out.

A simple conversation can matter more than you know.

In Canada, call or text 988 anytime for su***de crisis support.

International Overdose Awareness Day

Today we remember those who have lost their lives to overdose, stand with the families and communities who continue to grieve, and support everyone affected by substance use. Every life has value, and every person deserves compassion, dignity, and access to care. Our paramedics remain committed to responding when people need us most.

Congratulations to Josie Osborne on her appointment as B.C.’s Minister of Finance.

During her time as Minister of Health, APBC appreciated Minister Osborne’s collaborative approach and the strong working relationship we built around the issues affecting B.C.’s paramedics and ambulance services.

We wish her every success in this important new role and look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of paramedics and the communities they serve.

As wildfires continue to impact communities across the Okanagan, APBC paramedics are once again stepping up alongside our first responder colleagues to help wherever they’re needed.

Several of our members are currently deployed with Canada Task Force 1 (CAN-TF1), the Vancouver-based Heavy Urban Search and Rescue (HUSAR) team, providing medical support as part of the broader wildfire response.

It’s another example of the many different roles paramedics can play when communities are facing an emergency. Our members bring their skills and experience not only to the ambulance, but to specialized teams like CAN-TF1, evacuation efforts and large-scale emergency responses across the province.

We’re incredibly proud of our members who have answered the call, and grateful to the firefighters, search and rescue teams, police, emergency management personnel, volunteers and so many others working alongside them.
