Biting cold, lack of health care, inequitable access to hygiene & nutrition, accidents and diseases can lead to chronic wounds for many. We are grateful for the healing brought to the most vulnerable at our shelter by an exceptional team of Fraser Health nurses. #PublicHealth

A giant leap…Doctor’s have joined our team to assist efforts to bridge health/social care and remove restrictive barriers that hurt the most vulnerable and limit their access to housing and other vital supports. #healthinnovation #publichealth Andrew Boozary MD Adrian Dix

To reduce overdose risk our Mobile Health Unit safely & rapidly checks drugs for fentanyl (and analogues) to reduce death, hospitalizations and increase public safety. The sample shown tested positive. #PublicHealth #overdosecrisis Jennifer Whiteside 🇨🇦 #poison #harmreduction #toxicity

Our mobile sites include councillors, Dr’s, nurses and the Ministry of Social Development & Poverty Reduction to provide fast life-saving interventions and social supports (housing, income supports, ID’s) for the most vulnerable. Rapid deployment = lives saved. #publichealth

Today while commemorating Khalsa Sajna Divas in the City of Surrey we continued to ensure the equitable access to health resources and gave out 1000’s of rapid tests, sanitizer and masks. Public health done right. #PublicHealth #Vaisakhi #Surrey #RATS #rapidtests #seva The Sikh Community of 'BC' / Salish Land

Our hygiene days bring a closeness with another human being that many haven't had for so long due to years of neglect and lack of access. New clothes, showering and getting free haircut provides a health check and a huge boost in confidence! #freehaircuts #hygiene #mobilehealth

As summer slowly fades into memory and the first cool breezes of autumn sweep in, it’s time for us to transition to safety and well-being for the cold months ahead. We got this BC! #shelterfromthestorm #winter #cold #autumn #fall #safety

Amidst #Surrey #Vaisakhi celebrations this serene moment captured seniors resting on chairs, embodying grace amidst the peaceful celebration. Our Elder’s Space had comfortable seating, proper nutrition/hydration, and some space to be safe and achieve rest. #Seniors
