Provincial Health Services Authority (British Columbia)

Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) is a publicly funded health service provider in the province of British Columbia. Other health authorities in the province have a regional jurisdiction. PHSA is unique in Canada as the only health authority having a province-wide mandate for specialized health services. Services are provided either directly through PHSA agencies or through funding or collaboration with regional health authorities.

PHSA operates and manages a number of well-recognized specialized agencies:
 * BC Cancer Agency
 * BC Centre for Disease Control
 * BC Children's Hospital & Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children
 * BC Emergency Health Services (with programs BC Ambulance Service and the BC Patient Transfer Network)
 * BC Mental Health & Addiction Services
 * BC Provincial Renal Agency
 * BC Transplant Society
 * B.C. Women's Hospital & Health Centre
 * Cardiac Services BC
 * BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS(with the partnership with Providence Health and UBC)

The PHSA concentrates on doing three things to meet its responsibilities in health care:
 * Provide leadership and management of selected agencies and organizations providing province-wide health care services;
 * Ensure health care is delivered by overseeing performance agreements, expectations and funding allocations for selected provincial health care programs and services; and,
 * Province-wide coordination of programs, services and support systems required by all health authorities and/or the Ministry of Health.

In 2012-2013, PHSA budget was approximately CDN$2.4 billion and employed about 9,600 people. President and CEO Carl Roy was named in January 2014 to lead the executive team.

PHSA has been consistently named a top employer in Canada, and in October 2013 was again recognized with a national top employer honour.
