Whistler Awarded the BC Rural Community Health Award

for COVID-19 Response

*Dr. Karin Kausky and Whistler Mayor Jack Crompton*

This past May, Whistler's Dr. Karin Kausky accepted the RCCbc Community Award from the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) on behalf of the community of Whistler for our COVID-19 response.

Each year, the RCCbc recognizes the phenomenal work of BC’s rural physicians and communities and identifies a community that has developed innovative and collaborative approaches and solutions to local healthcare issues or supported and enhanced the sustainability of the rural health care services and /or providers within their community. The community celebrated receiving the award this past September and copies were handed out to community partners in recognition of their collaboration.

What are Divisions of Family Practice?

Divisions of Family Practice are sponsored by the Family Practice Services Committee, a joint committee of the BC Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC. Divisions were designed to improve patient care, increase Family Physicians’ influence on health care delivery and policy, and to support improved professional satisfaction for physicians.

The Sea to Sky Division of Family Practice is an independent society providing family practice leadership at community, regional, and provincial levels. Members advocate for and develop programs to fit the health care needs of the Sea to Sky region.

To learn more about the work being done by the Sea to Sky division, or for information about becoming a member, contact our Executive Director, Monica McDonald.
