Sarah Fletcher (she/her), PhD, MSc, BA
I live and work on the territories of the Lekwungen Speaking Peoples, including the Songhees, Esquimalt and Sc’ianew First Nations. I am a Medical Anthropologist and lead our Primary Care Transformation work at the ISU. My background spans ethnohistorical research, Human Rights, health policy and community based research in health promotion. I’ve also led research with youth focused on immigration, climate change, social innovation and health systems reform. Prior to my PhD , I had unique stint as a touring musician.
My passion lies in working with communities, facilitating co-design efforts that build team, community, and system resilience. I’m deeply committed to creative problem-solving, improving access to healthcare, and fostering collaboration across different parts of the healthcare system. The work I do at ISU is a perfect blend of these interests.
Outside of work, I’m often shuttling my two amazing (and very busy) kids around, exploring the Island, or soaking in music, art, and food events. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more about how we support teams and communities: sarah.fletcher@ubc.ca.
