The 6th Resilient Health Care Meeting was held in beautiful surroundings at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada from 14-16 August, 2017.

The purpose of the Resilient Health Care Initiative (RHCN) was to facilitate the interaction and collaboration among people who are interested in applying Resilience Engineering to health care – practitioners and researchers alike.
