Overview Fraser Health

Fraser Health is the largest and fastest growing health authority in British Columbia, serving over 1.46 million people across a large geographic area. It faces challenges in delivering equitable healthcare to both urban and rural communities given the diversity in population sizes and distances between them. The population is expected to continue growing significantly over the coming years, becoming older and more ethnically diverse on average. This will translate to increasing demand for healthcare services, particularly for chronic conditions that are more common in older populations like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and mental illness.
