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.

The 11th International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference on HIV Science took place from July 18th to the 21st and BC-CfE researchers attending the virtual conference used the opportunity to present their latest findings.

The BC-CfE supports the recent decision by the Government of BC to phase in a new policy expanding access to prescribed safer drug supply.

It’s been a busy summer for Rachel Miller, a graduate student in the BC-CfE’s Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics Group. Miller won a scholarship to attend the 23rd annual International AIDS Conference and she also won a prestigious award for the abstract she’ll be presenting at the conference.
