My Health My Community is a non-profit partnership between Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), Fraser Health (FH) and the eHealth Strategy Office (eHSO) at the University of British Columbia (UBC), which seeks to involve you, your community and community organizations.
The My Health My Community survey is an exciting opportunity to learn how our lifestyle, our environment, neighbourhood characteristics and daily interactions affect our health over time.
The survey asks people, aged 18 and up who live in the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health regions, to provide information about their health, lifestyle choices, community involvement and neighbourhood characteristics. This information will help us improve future community programs and services that are more relevant to your health and wellness needs.
We are pleased to announce the release of our community profiles based on the latest analysis from the My Health My Community survey. With 33,000 respondents across the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser regions, we have collected a level of information to support planning that has not previously been available. We could not have achieved this without partners like you.
These community profiles examine results in five areas; health status, lifestyle behaviors that impact health, primary care access, the built environment and community resiliency.
