The Sunny Hill Health Centre and its associated colleges and universities take a leadership role in educating the academic community about child development and rehabilitation.

Sunny Hill's physicians and health professionals are highly involved with research in partnership with UBC and BC Children's Hospital Research Institute, with the goal to better the lives of children by improving our understanding of how to help children with disabilities develop healthy lives.

The BC Leadership Chair in Child Development will support the evolution of Sunny Hill, BC Children's Hospital and BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre as international leaders in the field of child development.

Their work will examine the ways in which systematic differences in childhood environments varying by neighbourhood, community, or socioeconomic context affect development, to advance our understanding of the factors that foster healthy child outcomes.

The research program will address issues both of typical and atypical development.

The BC Leadership Chair in Child Development will be housed within HELP, an interdisciplinary Senate approved research centre of the Faculty of Medicine.

Unique in Canada, HELP is a collaborative research and knowledge mobilization centre that brings together expertise, from across disciplines and sectors, to contribute to improving conditions that promote an equitable start in life for all children and their families.
