PCN Steering Committees
Positions Available
Each of Vancouver’s six geographically defined Primary Care Networks (PCNs) is supported by a dedicated Steering Committee. Each Steering Committee provides local governance and direction for its respective PCN, ensuring that planning and decision-making are responsive to the needs of the specific community it serves. The Committees are responsible for guiding the deployment of Ministry-funded health resources within their PCN. This includes shaping service delivery approaches, identifying and prioritizing local care gaps, and advancing time-limited inittiatives to improve patient access to quality primary care.
Membership typically includes a Family Physician Convenor, additional family physicians, a nurse practitioner, and a patient partner. A Vancouver Division facilitator provides coordination and backbone support to enable effective committee functioning.
Examples of Steering Committee responsibilities include:
- Endorsing PCN resource allocation and service planning recommendations.
- Providing strategic input on new and evolving Division-led initiatives (e.g., Community-anchored CBT for seniors).
- Serving as ambassadors to providers and community groups in their PCNs, and encouraging providers to build cross-clinic relationships to better serve patients.
Family Physicians wanted. Join a PCN Steering Committee in PCN 2, 3, 5 or 6.

“When you’re trying to make changes in the system, you realize you’re one small part of a very large, complicated system,” she says. “Being involved gives people an opportunity to understand how to better integrate in the system and advocate within it.”
