Organizational Profile The Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) officially acknowledges work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across BC, with its core provincial office located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. RCCbc works to improve the health and well-being of rural, remote, and Indigenous communities across BC. Through collaboration, innovation, and strong partnerships with healthcare providers, communities, and system leaders, RCCbc supports initiatives that strengthen healthcare delivery, advance equitable access to care, and foster sustainable solutions for rural health challenges. Real-Time Virtual Support Program (RTVS) is RCCbc’s flagship provincial program, delivered in partnership with the First Nations Health Authority, the BC Ministry of Health, and regional healthcare partners. The program provides rural, remote, and Indigenous frontline healthcare providers with 24/7 access to virtual physician and specialist support through a network of peer-to-peer clinical pathways. RTVS is transforming healthcare access and outcomes across BC.
