The Resource Navigation program will see University of the Fraser Valley students volunteering in a kiosk at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital where patients being discharged can access information about community resources. The program is a partnership with the hospital and the Abbotsford Division of Family Practice, where the two students are part-time employees. The program’s also expected to benefit volunteers, coming from a range of disciplines and working toward careers in the healthcare system. It'll have a soft launch in January, followed by a formal launch in April. The student organizers are structuring the program in a way that their successors can take it over once they graduate. They worked closely with a local food bank to identify community resources to promote to patients being discharged.
