The
First Nations Health Authority is pleased to share A Change in Focus:
2014/2015 Summary Service Plan. This document summarizes the key FNHA
priorities for our first full year of service delivery.

Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) BC Region were transferred to the FNHA.
These included: primary care and public health programs, management and

The FNHA set and
met four success factors for this transfer: pay communities, minimize
service disruption, pay staff, and improve services where possible. This
period has also been marked by a growing regional-based approach
through the establishment of regional health and wellness plans,
regional governance processes, and a keen interest by players in the
provincial health system to partner with us to advance First Nations
health and wellness.
