New Adult Day Program spaces in Richmond
Vancouver Coastal Health and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. jointly announced on March 24, 2017, a project that will add 25 new Adult Day Program spaces in Richmond.
The 25 new spaces are expected to deliver 37,650 new service hours annually, serving an additional 125 new clients per year, which will help meet the growing demand for this type of service in Richmond. VCH is contributing $520,000 annually in operational funding for the program.
