Providence Research is the research enterprise of Providence Health Care and is affiliated with the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. As a continuous learning organization, we pursue real life health solutions to challenges that directly impact the health of our patients.

We believe this research not only makes for a robust learning environment, but also leads to better patient care. The integration of research, education and care is what makes our Institute’s mission a possibility. 

At Providence Research, our research expertise include laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological research in the fields of HIV/AIDS, heart disease, renal disease, gastro-intestinal diseases, psychiatry, geriatrics, and much more.
