No matter who we are, where we live, or how we live, we believe that everyone deserves good health. While we\u2019ve all been touched by the pandemic, some of us have been more affected than others.<\/p>\n

We know that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been equally distributed; older and younger adults have been disproportionately impacted, as well as people who already experience health inequities, intersecting inequities, and broader systemic inequities.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has had vast and lasting impacts on us all and it has greatly exacerbated existing inequities for those already made vulnerable due to systemic barriers. It has shown us where we need to provide better, stronger public health solutions. We have much work to do to recover and address the societal consequences of the pandemic, and protect everyone in BC as we begin to live safely and thoughtfully with the current state.<\/p>\n

We are committed to prioritizing BC\u2019s recovery, addressing the societal consequences of the pandemic, and supporting BC through this next phase through our newest campaign, Your Health, Our Commitment<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Since February 2020, we\u2019re proud to be playing an important role in supporting BC\u2019s COVID-19 public health response. Over the past few years, thanks to our donors and partners, we\u2019re supporting: population health monitoring critical for decision-making that is grounded in experiences; vaccine research, including vaccine effectiveness and helping to build vaccine confidence; key tools such as wastewater testing; and much more.<\/p>\n

From understanding how the virus mutates and spreads, to the rapid development of novel vaccines, we\u2019ve learned so much about the science of COVID-19, and we\u2019re in a much different place than we were a few years ago. At the same time, we\u2019ve also learned quite a bit about the societal aspects of the pandemic as well.<\/p>\n

Just as we were able to come together in early 2020 in response to the pandemic, it\u2019s time to mobilize again to rebuild, reimagine, and recover. Together, we can design a stronger, healthier, more equitable future. This is our commitment to your health.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Through Your Health, Our Commitment, we will keep working with our partners and donors to support BC in preparing for, and responding to, threats to the health of our communities now and into the future.<\/p>\n

You can be a part of this next phase, too. By donating<\/a> to Your Health, Our Commitment, you join a community of donors, public health organizations, government, academics, health practitioners, and other funders to foster healthy communities and strengthen our responses for the future.<\/p>\n
