CEO Message

Dr. Ronald Lett’s humanitarian service is a testament to the power of education and of networks of care.

I hope at this point in the summer, you have all had an opportunity to relax, unwind and disconnect. I’ve been using this quiet time to reflect and to think ahead to what we have in store for the second half of 2018.

We have now completed our new strategic plan to guide us for three years. To complete the new plan, we consulted hundreds of Fellows, staff and stakeholders.

Catherine L. Cook, MD, MSc, CCFP, FCFP, has been named the recipient of our Dr. Thomas Dignan Indigenous Health Award for 2018.

Are you aware of the new federal report that outlines options for reshaping and revitalizing our pan-Canadian health care organizations? There’s an important concern I’d like to share with you: the absent discussion of specialty care.

Get to know this year’s recipients. Their stories remind us that, working together, each of our unique skillsets can be used to influence real and lasting improvements at the systems’ and patient-care levels.
