The Emergency and Health Services Commission (EHSC) is now officially a division of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA). The Emergency and Health Services Amendment Act, 2013 completed its final reading in the legislature.
This means that the newly named British Columbia Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), formerly EHSC, will have an even closer alignment to the health sector and PHSA’s role as a specialized, provincial healthcare service provider. BCEHS is currently responsible for three operating entities. BC Ambulance Service provides emergency health services and ambulance services throughout the province of British Columbia. The BC Patient Transfer Network is responsible for planning and coordination of all inter-facility patient transfers. Trauma Services B.C. (TSBC) is dedicated to ensuring all British Columbians have access to a high performing, comprehensive, integrated and inclusive provincial trauma system.
