Gracie Kelly’s family roots are with the Th’ewali (Soowahlie First Nations) Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe. She is a Cultural Safety and Humility facilitator, an educator, enjoys sharing traditional teachings and is an advocate of supporting Indigenous communities. Gracie currently works as the Indigenous Specific Anti-Racism and Cultural Safety Liaison at Doctors of BC, a role which aims to proactively address issues of Indigenous-specific racism in how physicians deliver care, strengthen the provision of culturally safe care, and improve the care experiences of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples.
Dr Josh Greggain (he/him/his) is a family physician with more than 20 years of experience, focused on caring for rural, Indigenous, and underserved communities across British Columbia. He currently serves as Chief Medical Advisor, Primary Care at Doctors of BC, where he supports the organization’s strategic priorities and contributes to advocacy, negotiations, and policy development in collaboration with the Board.
Josh has held several leadership roles, including President of Doctors of BC (2023), co-lead of the Network of Rural Divisions at the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc), and Program Director of the Family Practice Residency Program at UBC’s Department of Family Medicine. He has been actively involved with Doctors of BC since 2019, including work with the Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues and as one of the Physician Leads for the Longitudinal Family Practice (LFP) Working Group, where he helped develop the LFP Payment Model.
He practiced for 17 years as a full-service family physician in Hope, BC, providing office-based care, emergency services, inpatient and palliative care, and outreach to Indigenous communities in the Fraser Canyon. During that time, he also contributed to the development of the House of Sexwna7m, an Indigenous-led primary care outreach clinic in Anderson Creek.
Josh continues to practice in urgent care on Vancouver Island and provides locum coverage in rural communities across the province in family practice, emergency medicine, and inpatient care. Based in Bowser/Deep Bay, he is also working with his father to establish a multidisciplinary family health clinic in the territory of the Qualicum First Nation.
Known for his collaborative approach, Josh aims to “listen with three ears,” seeking to understand not only what people say, but their lived experiences and perspectives. He received the 2021 Family Physician of the Year award from the BC College of Family Physicians, and 2024 Rural Long Service Award from the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC), among other recognitions.
Josh is grateful to live, work and play on the territory of the Qualicum First Nation, and the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, on eastern Vancouver Island with his wife Jennifer and their French bulldog, Willow, where they explore the beaches and trails as often as they are able.
Emma Sheppard is a Senior Research Analyst at Reichert & Associates who will be facilitating the webinar. Emma leads several primary care and Shared Care evaluations across BC.
