Why a Society?
A society provides an independent entity to:
- Assess and respond to community healthcare needs
- Work with the health professionals and VIHA to develop programs that address those needs
- Provide facilities to licensed health care practitioners in a way that fosters integrated team care and accessibility wherever possible.
- Work in partnership with other community agencies to improve conditions affecting health.
All profits of the Society are to be exclusively used for advancing its purposes. There will be no distributions or benefits to its members. Should the Society be disbanded, any remaining assets will be refunded to the donors or transferred to an organization having objectives similar to those of the Society, as may be directed by the members. These provisions are unalterable.
