About Walk a Doc
1 hour sessional plus up to $20 (for refreshments for you and your co-walker)
Sometimes the best ideas need some one-on-one time to talk them through and set them up for success. With Walk a Doc, we help you find the right person in Island Health to chat with, buy you each a coffee, and pay you for your one-hour walk and talk. We even have maps of good walks!

What could it look like?
- A physician has an idea for a new service or clinic that would improve patient care and optimize clinical teams.
- An Island Health leader has been told that funding has been made available for a specific patient population, but doesn’t know the best way to use it.
- A physician would like to understand why a particular Island Health process has been designed.
How does it work?
- Vetted and approved by MSA Administrators.
- Proposal evaluation criteria: Suitability of topic, frequency of request.
- Supports available: MSA Administrators can help you find the right person to speak with about your idea or challenge.
- Post-meeting evaluation: Sent by MSA administrators. Evaluation must be completed before payment and reimbursement is approved.
