Dr. Georgia Hunt

Assistant Head Quality for the Department of Family Practice, BC Women’s Hospital

Biography:
Georgia has been intensely involved in maternity care since the first time a baby was born into her hands in Broxburn, Scotland in 1973. She was a founding member of the Family Practice Maternity Service at BC Women’s and is Physician Lead for Sheway, a project for pregnant and parenting women who live in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. She is Assistant Head Quality for the Department of Family Practice at BC Women’s Hospital.

When not thinking about how to make birth as joyful and safe as possible for families, Georgia likes gardening, kayaking, reading, cooking, sharing long meals with friends and family, and walking the trails of Vancouver, Tuscany, Florida, Nunavut, Ontario, New Mexico. She has three grown-up children who are the joys of her life.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
