Fraser Health’s hospitals, health centers and long-term care facilities must increase their resilience in our new climate reality. Our health facilities and services will be increasingly challenged by acute shocks such as unusually hot and prolonged heatwaves and by chronic stresses such as shifting precipitation patterns and retreating glaciers.
By using evidence-based climate projections to guide decision-making, Fraser Health will better ensure that our facilities are able to support health services when they are most needed. This briefing is intended to inform site-specific capital planning, design and operations for Fraser Health facilities.
