Thank you for joining us @NinaKreigerBC! We are deeply grateful to have your support and recognition of the importance of family medicine. As @Josie_Osborne put it yesterday, ‘if primary care is the skeleton of health care, family medicine is the backbone’ 💜 #BCCFPAdvocacyDay

Thank you 🙏🏼 to the @BCCFP for energizing meetings today about strengthening primary care and family medicine across #BC by building more team-based care & reducing administrative burdens for family docs (like we’re doing right now with Bill 11 to eliminate sick notes!).
