Policy Analyst – Vancouver Coastal Health
What is your current job?
In my role as a Policy Analyst, my primary responsibilities involve conducting research and analysis on various public health issues and policies, with a particular emphasis on the broader social determinants of health. This means we’re looking at the factors beyond healthcare services that impact people’s well-being, such as alcohol consumption, affordable housing, active transportation networks and quality childcare and school environments.
