The EHSC is mandated to ensure both the provision of emergency health services, delivered through the BCAS, and the provision of non-emergency health and tele-health information services, through HealthlinkBC.
In addition to a reporting relationship with the Ministry of Health Services, the Commission receives direction from the EHSC Board of Directors, which is comprised of representatives from the Fraser, Interior and Northern Health Authorities and the Ministry of Health Services Executive Committee.
