Research
Get the latest research and clinical thinking from our seniors experts, along with important information you should know.
The Centre for Healthy Aging at Providence is a catalyst for improving the lives of BC’s older population. Based within a health care setting, CHAP understands real-life issues in delivering care and uses a practical approach to resolve these issues. Providence’s Centre for Health Evaluation & Outcome Sciences (CHÉOS) is known for groundbreaking research that aims to improve the health of populations, including the most vulnerable. CHÉOS researchers study the care of the elderly and people who are critically or chronically ill. All of these populations require complex care that challenges the fabric of our health care system. Improved care for these populations is urgently needed.
Education
This section will be growing to become the go-to place to find health information for seniors and their families. We also have information, educational opportunities and resources for health care professionals, members of interdisciplinary teams that provide care for older adults.
Providence has one of the largest residential care programs in the province. It’s also home to the research Centre for Healthy Aging. The experts that provide these education resources really understand the aging process and how the health care system works for seniors.
