Innovation for impact
Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) is home to the best health care in B.C. and has pioneered some of the country’s most important medical advancements.
As a world-class innovator in medical care, research and teaching, our readiness to work together across professional disciplines, to take risks and defy convention and to build the right partnerships has been invaluable in accelerating new ideas through research and discovery and in developing solutions that improve the health care experience for all.
One thing we know for certain is that great ideas can come from anyone within the health-care system. As we continue building the future of health care, we are creating a culture where all voices are heard and where everyone—from our staff to our partners—is encouraged to share their bold thinking.
