Class at BC’s newest medical school is officially in session, and we’re getting a look inside where it all begins. The SFU Stephens Family School of Medicine welcomed its first 48 students last month, marking the first new medical school to open its doors in BC in nearly 60 years. #Healthcare

1/2 Today our government announced $33 million for Surrey Memorial Hospital to improve emergency and diagnostic care and expand seniors’ services. The BC Conservatives said it themselves: “healthcare would take the brunt of budget cuts.” We can’t afford to let that happen.

A warm welcome to the new doctors and nurse practitioners in Esquimalt. BC offers something that health-care workers around the world value: a public health-care system where access to care is based on need, not ability to pay. We'll keep working to strengthen health care in BC.
