Royal Columbian Hospital is a major critical care centre, offering care to more than 1.8 million people, or as many as a third of British Columbians. Royal Columbian Hospital is a first-class hospital with a reputation for excellence. We are among BC's largest hospitals, offering care to more than 1.8 million people - or one in three British Columbians - from Burnaby to Boston Bar. Royal Columbian Hospital is operated by Fraser Health, the largest and fastest-growing health region in British Columbia. Royal Columbian is responsible for treating the most critically ill and injured patients in the province. When people need specialized services in the areas of trauma, critical care, cardiac care, maternal and child health, and neurosciences, they come to our hospital.

ASPIRE Community Services (Actualizing Self Reliance by Providing Inspiration, Resources & Education) aims at promoting client development and independence.

By acting as liaisons between clients and readily available resources in Metro Vancouver, volunteer caseworkers empower clients as they navigate their way to a brighter future. “Give a person a fish and you feed her/him for a day. Teach a person to fish and you feed her/him for a lifetime” Chinese Proverb. Grounded on this Chinese proverb, our holistic approach of ASPIRE empowers our clients to become self‐reliant and productive members of our community through mentorship, guidance and counselling while catering for their basic needs like food and mitigating the risks of substance abuse, behavioural and mental health challenges. ASPIRE is based on the public health model which focuses on multiple levels of interventions (Merrell & Buchanan, 2006) and focuses on the client’s Social Determinants of Health, which, in the opinion of Mikkonen and Raphael (2010), is the leading cause of improving the overall health and well‐being of individuals instead of the medical model ‐ which only addresses fundamental needs.
