Everything is Health is the new podcast brought to you by co-hosts Maddie Elder, a UBC medical student, and Nick Ubels, a UBC Community Engagement Librarian. Everything is Health is a conversation that explores current health research in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) and discusses the implications for the community and beyond. With topics including unemployment, housing, and safe supply, Everything is Health is a great way to learn about current health-related research in the DTES.

Everything is Health is supported by the Making Research Accessible initiative (MRAi), whose goal is to increase the benefit, usefulness, and accessibility of research in the DTES. For more information about the DTES Research Access Portal, visit https://dtesresearchaccess.ubc.ca/
