We just took an exciting step forward! Recently, CareRipples held its very first volunteer onboarding session — a beautiful milestone as we grow our community efforts to help more people in British Columbia understand and navigate healthcare with confidence.
This gathering brought together wonderful individuals who genuinely want to make a difference. It was our first official moment of teamwork with volunteers, and it felt like the perfect beginning of something meaningful.
During the session, we introduced Avee Health and showed how our platform works within BC’s public MSP-covered healthcare system. We walked everyone through the simple steps of registering and booking virtual appointments so volunteers could experience it themselves before helping others.
We also covered important topics together, including:
- How MSP-covered telemedicine works in British Columbia
- Why primary care helps ease pressure on emergency rooms
- Clear and safe healthcare navigation pathways
- The importance of sharing accurate, responsible information
Because CareRipples is all about education, we want every volunteer to feel confident and well-prepared when they talk with the community.
This session marked the very first wave of volunteers joining CareRipples. We saw real enthusiasm and heartfelt engagement, which told us there’s a genuine desire to help spread healthcare awareness. Of course, as a new initiative, we know there’s room to grow — we’re already planning to improve our training, materials, and support as we move forward together.
CareRipples isn’t just about showing up at events. We’re creating flexible opportunities so volunteers can contribute in ways that match their skills and interests, such as:
- Community outreach and in-person events
- Social media awareness campaigns
- Creating helpful educational content
- Research on healthcare access challenges
- Supporting partnership development
Our dream is to build a team where everyone can use their strengths to support one big mission: making healthcare easier to understand and access for people across British Columbia.
