Our public affairs team helps media representatives track down information, coordinate interviews with physicians, staff and patients, and navigate our facilities.
To ensure the confidentiality of our patients, residents and employees is protected:
- All media calls must be directed to Public Affairs.
- All media interviews must be cleared through Public Affairs.
- All media representatives visiting Vancouver Coastal Health sites must be escorted by Public Affairs personnel (or designate).
- Public Affairs must receive written consent from patients prior to media interviews.
- Documentary film producers must submit a written synopsis about their project to Public Affairs. If consent to film is given, a written agreement must be signed.
