The goal of the interim Accessibility Plan is to outline initial priority areas that will guide our work in identifying and eliminating barriers experienced by people with disabilities. We acknowledge accessibility is a critical concept for health care systems to embed in all areas of engagement, and our work is grounded in meaningful consultation and collaboration with those with lived experiences with disability, who we recognize as experts in their respective experiences.

Along with the guidance of the Accessible British Columbia Act and the Fraser Health Accessibility Advisory Committee, the following six principles have served as a guide for this work. These are:

  1. Inclusion
  2. Adaptability
  3. Diversity
  4. Collaboration
  5. Self-determination
  6. Universal design

Priority areas

Our interim Accessibility Plan outlines four main priority areas:

Priority area one

Establish a baseline for accessibility in both employment and health care service delivery.

Priority area two
