How Asking "What Matters to You?"
Improved Kidney Care at Vancouver Coastal Health

Patients at Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) kidney care clinic and the health professionals who care for them are both benefiting from one simple question: “What matters to you?”

We love sharing stories which were started by asking “What matters to you?” because stories are powerful and context matters! “What Matters to You?” encourages meaningful conversations between patients, caregivers, families and their health care providers. It helps ensure care is aligned with patient priorities – and supports the right care at the right time, which can improve health outcomes.

As the International “What Matters to You?” Day approaches on June 6, we are celebrating the great work happening with VCH’s Regional Palliative Approach to Care Education (RPACE) team, who are embedding these conversations into everyday care!
