Volunteer with us
Basics for Health Society is directed and overseen by a voluntary, multi-disciplinary, working Board of Directors. We are proud of our compassionate and productive way of working, that prioritizes wellness and relationships in our work.
We are in a process of organizational transiton - wrapping up projects and joining forces with another organization(s) in the coming year (2025).
Building communities and networks of health care allies acting on SDOH (& systemic violence that perpetuates inaction) is important to us - we are always happy to connect and collaborate. If you share our passion to improve the health of all by mobilizing a social determinants of health (SDOH) approach in health services, and mitigating the impacts of structural violence, we would love to hear from you!
Our commitment to Equity
When recruiting Board Members, Basics for Health Society seeks and encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds from a variety of professions, living and lived experiences and intersecting identities to apply. We value diversity in order to better address and integrate the social determinants of health into health care and community settings.
We particularly encourage members from groups who historically and/or actively experience health inequity including, but not limited to, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour), persons with disabilities (both physical and/or mental), persons of marginalized sexual orientation, gender identities and gender expressions and any other groups who may encounter discrimination in health settings. While these identities can be complex and carry diverse experiences, we know the conditions in which we live, work, learn, and grow have an enormous impact on our health. Through a diverse Board, we hope to improve the health of all by mobilizing a social determinants of health approach in health services and mitigating the impacts of structural violence.
