Building Resilience: How VAHS is Shaping the Future of Indigenous Health in Vancouver

For over 30 years, the Vancouver Aboriginal Health Society (VAHS) has been a cornerstone of health and social services for the urban Indigenous community in Greater Vancouver.
In its early days, the organization operated as an after-hours medical clinic, providing much-needed healthcare services to a population that was often overlooked and underserved. Today, VAHS offers a wide range of services to address not just physical health but also the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of those they serve.
Operating from the deeply rooted understanding that individual well-being is inseparable from community health, VAHS has grown with their community to make sure that everyone is able to access the care they need.
