Fonds comprises records of the Cortes Community Health Association (CCHA) including financial records, correspondence (including print-outs of emails), board governance documents and photographs. Subjects include CCHA initiatives to secure funding for a physician and to build a Health Centre.
The Cortes Community Health Association is a registered Charity, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the membership. The CCHA owns and operates the Cortes Health Centre (945 Beasley Road, Manson's Landing, BC); acts as liaison between the community, the Ministry of Health and other branches of health care delivery, health education and administration in British Columbia; and provides a variety of community programs.
The CCHA was formed in 1993 by a group of local residents who wished to secure quality health care for Cortes Island. At that point, the only medical services available on the island were provided by the ambulance service and the fortnightly visits of a physician. The first initiatives of the CCHA were to establish a medical clinic and pharmacy in Manson's Hall, and to secure funding for a full-time family physician. When the two-room clinic in the Hall proved inadequate, CCHA undertook to raise funds for and build a clinic on land leased from the Cortes Island Seniors Building Society. Site preparation began in 2003 and the clinic opened in 2005.
Custodial History
Documents were handed over to the Archives by Bernice McGowan, secretary of the CCHA.
