This major study finds that BC’s home and community health care system is in serious decline — the result of reduced access to services and poorly planned restructuring.

A related study, Innovations in Community Care: From Pilot Project to System Change [6], looks at successful case studies around BC that, if scaled up, offer cost-effective solutions.
