Dr. Caroline Y. WangMLA Candidate for Vancouver-Quilchena
I am running for MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena as an Independent candidate to bring strong representation and to give voters a centrist option in this crucial election.
As a BC doctor of 38 years in family practice with extensive public leadership experience, I want to use my knowledge to benefit the constituents and address serious challenges, especially the health care crisis affecting our communities. With my academic training from New York University studying international health systems, policy and management, I wish to help the Government to improve the public system to achieve high impact saving lives and better health outcomes for British Columbians.
