Health Vision Sea to Sky
Updated April 7, 2025
VCH launches next phase of Health Vision Sea to Sky
Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) has launched the next phase of Health Vision Sea to Sky, a high-level planning process to help align local health-care services with the evolving health-care needs of the region.
As part of the planning process, VCH has developed a draft clinical services plan for the Sea to Sky region and community plans for Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. These plans consider historical data and trends, industry best practices, population projections, as well as input from the Sea to Sky community, the six First Nations in the Sea to Sky corridor and staff and medical staff.
Once finalized, these plans will provide a vision for future health-care services at a regional and community level. They will help inform the space required and the infrastructure recommendations set out in Health Vision Sea to Sky. Moving forward, VCH will work with the B.C. Government and other relevant partners to further coordinate, engage and advance the recommendations outlined in Health Vision Sea to Sky, as appropriate.
We are inviting members of the Sea to Sky region and interested partners to join an in-person or online engagement session.
During the sessions, we will share what we heard during previous engagement, present highlights from the draft Sea to Sky clinical services plan and community plans, as well as invite participants to ask questions and provide feedback. In addition to these sessions, VCH will also be engaging directly with staff and medical staff, local First Nations, as well as relevant community partners.
Community input is a valuable part of the planning process. Please participate in an opportunity to learn more and share your thoughts.
