Pacific-northwest Health Equity Network

As a community of practice (CoP), we promote global and planetary health research as a driver of collaboration, partnership, and equity in the creation, co-production, and translation of knowledge for evidence-informed decision-making and improved health and well-being globally.

Join our CoP today, and speak as a unified voice for global and planetary health research. Learn more here.

Who we are

Pacific-northwest Health Equity Network (PHEN), formerly known as the British Columbia Coalition Institute (BCCI), is a dynamic and inclusive community of practice, focused on the climate crisis as an inherently global health and equity issue.

What we do

Our efforts purposefully include building a diverse, future-ready community. We recognize the interconnectedness of people and multi-species around the world and to the Earth. We perceive ourselves as a nimble, adaptive, and creative community that can respond to some of the problems we create.

Our vision

Based in the Pacific Northwest, we are a courageous Community of Practice that boldly advances health equity through local action on global issues.

Our mission

We aim to cultivate a strong network and support system, grounded in learning together and embracing our collective agency to act locally while thinking globally, toward more equitable and sustainable futures.
