On November 5th, 2024 the Vancouver Division held its first MOA Networking Forum. 96 MOAs from Vancouver-based primary care clinics attended the event. The event allowed MOAs to connect with one another, be further engaged, and allowed us to show our appreciation to MOAs who work tirelessly to support their patients and providers. The evaluation summary from the event revealed that 100% of respondents would attend another event in the future. You can review the summary report from the forum engagement here.
