Sanctuary Health Community Forum-Access to Health Care Without Fear
Tuesday February 23rd 7-9 pm
Broadway Youth Resource Centre, 2455 Fraser St, Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territories
Invite to friends and community members!
Hospitals should not be border check-points! Join us for a Community Forum on the topic Access to Services without Fear.
In light of information we have received that indicates that Fraser Health has been releasing patient information to CBSA - we would like to bring our friends and allies together to strategize on how to pressure health authorities to end their collaboration with CBSA and ensure access to health care without fear.
At the meeting we will:
1) Go through the information released through our Freedom of infomration request to FHA
2) Ask you to share your experiences accessing health care for individuals with precarious status. What are your concerns? Have you had interactions with CBSA in this context?
2) Discuss a strategy for promoting awareness of this issue and putting pressure on the Health Authorities to change their practices to ensure access to health care without fear.
