Hello and Welcome! 

It is an exciting time to be a family physician in BC. I feel honoured to follow in the footsteps of so many great leaders and continue the work to advocate for family doctors/our profession.

Over the next year, my focus will be on implementing our priorities, which can be summarized in six words: Shaping the future of family medicine.

Family doctors are leaders, innovators and proponents of an accessible, integrated healthcare system. We want to solidify our partnerships to reform healthcare and future-proof family medicine. Together, we can build a more equitable, innovative and resilient healthcare system.

Sincerely,

Dr. Darren Joneson
2025-2026 President
BC Family Doctors
