Being active saves lives, whether a gym workout, walking to work or even housecleaning

Providence Health Care, which operates the Crosstown Clinic in Vancouver Canada, and Pivot Legal Society, said this week’s announcement by Health Canada that once again allows doctors to prescribe diacetylmorphine – or pharmaceutical-grade heroin – under Health Canada’s Special Access Program is an important step forward in the treatment of chronic opioid dependence.

Allowing access to diacetylmorphine, or medical heroin, to patients who need it, ensures that life-saving treatments get delivered to vulnerable people suffering from chronic opioid use.

Vancouver, February 11, 2016 – As planning moves ahead for the new St. Paul’s Hospital and health campus, Providence Health Care invites the public to share its ideas and help shape plans for the future of care delivery.

Through February and March, Providence, in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health, will host a series of eight community forums at various locations around Vancouver. All are open to the public.

The redevelopment of St. Paul’s Hospital took a big step forward with the selection of the professional services firm KPMG to assist in the clinical services planning process, which will help inform the design and layout of the new hospital and health care campus.
