We want to say a HUGE thank you to Josie Osborne, Minister of Health, Colleen Jones, Mayor of Trail, and MLA Steve Morissette for taking the time to visit us at the Lower Columbia Community Health Centre.

The visit from Minister Osborne, Mayor Jones, and MLA Morissette helped Lower Columbia Community Health Centre Network Society (LCCHCNS) showcase the early success of our Ministry-funded Community Health Centre in Trail while advancing our vision for integrated, team-based primary care across the Lower Columbia. It strengthened our alignment with provincial priorities and supports our work as a community-governed non-profit to expand access to sustainable, patient-centered care in rural communities.
