The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is the first and only province-wide health authority of its kind in Canada.

Today, the FNHA is the health and wellness partner to over 200 diverse First Nations communities and their members across British Columbia.

As such, the CEO must be a respected representative of the First Nations Health Authority and inspire deep engagement with the community while enhancing the reputation of the organization.
