BCCFP: Wholehearted Care

Along the years, BCCFP received an unprecedented number of nominations for our annual Family Doctor awards, with more than 350 British Columbians writing to share how their lives would not be the same without their family doctor.

In an effort to share some of the admiration and appreciation patients have expressed, we partnered with Vancouver-based spoken word artist, Julia Pileggi, to develop a poem that celebrates the important work that family physicians do. Then we asked our members to share glimpses of their day to day life as family doctors in BC.

The resulting video piece – based on the hundreds of patient testimonials that we have received over the past three years of the My Family Doctor award program – is an ode to the wholehearted care that family physicians provide their patients, each and every day.
