Community developers are community development specialists. They collaborate with health staff, residents, community organizations, municipalities and other government agencies to develop and advocate for services, policies and projects that promote health, strengthen communities and create a more accessible health system.
Community developers work in many different regions of Vancouver Coastal Health, including the North Shore, Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Vancouver and Richmond. Some community developers also focus on specific population groups (e.g. children and families, seniors, adults with chronic health conditions, and people with low incomes, addictions and mental health conditions).
