Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes
Overview
Health Research BC partners with the Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes (formerly CHÉOS) to support evidence-informed research that strengthens BC’s health system. Together, we invest in emerging researchers whose work addresses real-world care and policy priorities.
The Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes is a multidisciplinary health research centre based at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver and was founded to pursue excellence in research through the rigorous evaluation, interpretation, and dissemination of health outcomes information. The Centre is jointly affiliated with Providence Research and the University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Medicine.
