We are proud to share that Umbrella Multicultural Health Co-op’s Executive Director, Zarghoona Wakil, was warmly welcomed by Hon. Minister Jennifer Whiteside at the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.
Minister Whiteside recognized Umbrella Co-op’s leadership and impact in advancing equitable, culturally safe, and community-driven health care for cultural communities and farm workers in B.C.
We are grateful for this acknowledgment and for the opportunity to see Umbella's vision and commitment celebrated at the provincial level.
On this day, our Executive Director joined the British Columbia Association for Community Health Centres (BCACHC) at the BC Legislature’s Lobby Day to advocate for the vital role of 38 Community Health Centres providing accessible and equitable care across the province.
