The BC-CfE is bringing comprehensive, wrap-around, health care to residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) through the services it offers at its Hope to Health Research and Innovation Complex (H2H). Opened in late 2019 and located in the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES), H2H is a multi-building complex that provides integrated harm reduction, safer supply, and primary care services to its clients with on-site laboratory services.
H2H’s founding was thanks in large part to the generosity of long-time friend of the BC-CfE and ardent supporter Carl P. Vanderspek. Funds graciously donated by him facilitated the creation of H2H in the 600 block of Powell Street. Vanderspek achieved tremendous success in business, and he brought this business acumen to his philanthropic endeavours as well, seeking out causes with the most potential for success and which would generate the most positive impacts on underserved communities.
