With support from the program, the teams introduced promising practices — approaches that improved access to safe, including culturally safe, team-based primary care — by meeting the unique needs of communities, patients and providers while encouraging collaboration and shared learning across Canada.
About this Promising Practice
The Rural Coordination Centre of BC is working with the communities of Tumbler Ridge and Port Alberni to integrate food-based approaches into diabetes care. More than 200 healthcare providers have been trained to assist patients on their remission journey, and community pharmacies now offer point-of-care diabetes testing, improving accessibility.
