Writing for Change: Articulating an alternative model of health care delivery for immigrant seniors

Immigrant seniors face a variety of challenges, such as language barriers or poor health, that impact their ability to age at home or to stay healthier for longer. S.U.C.C.E.S.S.’ collaboration with Vancouver Coastal Health is investigating the impact of the PACE model on BC immigrant seniors. The model brings teams of different healthcare professionals together to better target the individual senior’s needs. To share the findings of this pilot project, S.U.C.C.E.S.S. is seeking an intern that can disseminate the results to a variety of stakeholders to further promote research in this area and to help healthcare providers to improve their services.
