In 1993 the Nicola Tribal Association created the vision of having a health service owned and controlled by our community members.  The development of the vision was pioneered by three leaders within the Scw’exmx (people of the creeks) Territory.  Since 1993 Scw’exmx Community Health Services Society has grown from a vision to reality and what once was the Scw’exmx Health Authority is now recognized as the Scw’exmx Community Health Services Society when it became a society on July 15th, 1998.
