Update: Refugee Health Vancouver website.
The RHV website launched this summer. The site provides practical resources to support those caring for refugees in Greater Vancouver. It provides an overview of the refugee settlement process, an explanation of medical and drug coverage, translated patient handouts, medical guidelines, a directory of community resources, and information on source countries.
It is a work in progress. Many thanks to the students and residents who have already contributed, and to those who have expressed interest and are waiting for my direction. There remains plenty to be done, particularly under ‘community resources’ and ‘cultural profiles’.
The site’s Facebook page is updated when new content is added. If anyone is interested in managing the site’s Twitter account, or has other ideas around this project, please contact me through the website.
Thank you,
