Shuswap Collaborative Alliance
The Shuswap Collaborative Alliance was formed in Salmon Arm in Spring 2020. The goal was to institutionalize working and continuous relationships with existing networks, who actively support physician initiatives within SLGH. The group meets every second month to share new knowledge and information that will positively support every physician who brings idea for potential projects. Our motto is "never say no!"
If you have ideas for a project or would like to attend an Alliance meeting please reach out to Yuliya Zinova, SLGH FEI Project Manager.
