In 2013, the Vancouver Island Health Authority adopted the name Island Health. This change reflects the broader population we serve and aligns with the naming conventions of other health authorities in British Columbia.
Island Health Logo
The most recognizable element of Island Health’s visual identity is the logo, which consists of the graphic mark, featuring three stylized mountains and a wave, and the wordmark, a customized rendering of the name Island Health. Together, these elements create a consistent visual presence across all materials.

Indigenous Health Logo
Island Health’s Cultural Safety logo, created by Ray MacGuire and Dale Letourneau in 2011, depicts the elements of a culturally safe environment for clients and families.
The two hands signify a welcoming place of care, while the eagle feathers symbolize the importance of providing care that honors and respects the whole person. The hands hold up a heart, signifying the importance of providing health care with an open heart and open mind. The center of the heart is a circle representing the person at the heart of receiving care.
The Orca whale tails surrounding the person remind us of the importance of family and the three distinct First Nations of Vancouver Island. The infinity symbol at the base of the heart acknowledges the Metis Nation.
Together these symbols signify the inclusiveness of all cultures and the right of people to receive health and care services that are culturally safe.
