Surrey-North Delta Division of Family Practice

Shared Care Project: The 4 C’s of Health Emergency Preparedness EOI

Project Completion Date: June, 2024

Project Contact: April Bonise


At the end of 2022, two influential projects in the Surrey-North Delta community were wrapping up: the Shared Care Admission & Discharge Communication (ADC) project and the HEM BC Health Emergency Management Planning project. Both had identified ongoing and overlapping opportunities to build on the foundational concepts of:

  • collaboration,
  • communication,
  • collegiality, and
  • connection within health emergency preparedness.

Thus, the two working groups merged with the intention of using lessons learned for the development of educational resources and templates aimed at family medicine and emergency room physicians that would support the flow of health information during a health emergency in the community.  

The 4C project activities included:

  • A heat-related illness prevention webinar
  • Creation of an extreme weather event resource directory for physicians
  • Creation of public education resources including heat-related illness awareness and the Where4Care campaign
