Child Health BC
A provincial network improving health for BC's kids!
Across our province, many health care providers including physicians, hospitals, communities, regions, resources and ministries are actively involved in supporting children and their families achieve the best possible health. Ensuring that these many collaborators have opportunity to work together to serve children and their families and, importantly, to enable the most innovative, novel and sustainable services for children's health is the work of Child Health BC.
The three key child serving ministries - the Ministry of Health, Ministry for Children and Family Development and the Ministry of Education - as well as the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction are active contributors and members of Child Health BC's Steering Committee.

Child Health BC is generously supported by the BC Children's Hospital Foundation. This inspiring commitment to leadership and funding provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build an accessible system of service for BC’s children and youth.
Appetite to Play is one of Child Health BC's many initiatives and it was developed to support early childhood educators in promoting and encouraging health eating and physical activity in the early years. We are very excited to have recently extended our audience to include parents and caregivers!
