The BCAHA Links & Strengthens 62 Member Auxiliaries at the Heart of Healthcare
What is BCAHA?
We are volunteer-based membership organizations formed to support the needs of hospitals, healthcare centres and health services, thereby promoting the health and welfare of communities within BC. The BC Association of Healthcare Auxiliaries (BCAHA) was established in 1945 to promote education, leadership, effective communication, and high standards of performance as key factors in member Auxiliaries’ success.
