Who are we?
HANS (Health Action Network Society) is a charitable natural health resource. HANS provides information on preventive medicine and natural therapeutics through our website, a reference library, Health Action magazine, the HANS e-News, and regular educational and networking events. Our members are like-minded people of all backgrounds, lay and professional, who share an interest in a natural approach to health care.
Our two key strategies to achieve our mission and vision are:
- To provide health information (library, website, newsletter, educational seminars, answering enquiries, events and workshops) to individuals so they can make an informed choice.
- Spearhead health issues important to the individual, guided with careful research and public relations campaigns to enable change at the regulatory level.
HANS has the largest on-line health library in B.C. and we have fielded up to 25,000 enquiries a year from British Columbians.
We have many educational projects on the go. If you're a member and have some spare time, volunteering is a great way to help make a difference. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing your efforts better the lives of others. If you're not a member, we'd be happy to have you join. Welcome!
