Congratulations to Emily B. Kalieh! Her research examines the public health programs focused on nutrition in Alberta from the 1920s to the 1960s. It reveals how these programs, while improving health, were also tied to settler colonialism and Indigenous land dispossession. By connecting public health and land, the project highlights the complex role of science in shaping both health and control over Indigenous lands.

2024 marks 40 years of the Canada Health Act, a key milestone in our country's universal healthcare. Yet, as we reflect on its achievements, we must also confront the challenges that have emerged in our healthcare system. I’ll be joining Dr. Colleen M. Flood, Dr. Danielle Martin, and Will Falk at the upcoming CSA Policy Pathways Conference on November 7 in Toronto. Together, we’ll be discussing how to modernize the Canada Health Act and explore innovative ways to build a more resilient and patient-centered healthcare system. This conference is a critical platform for shaping the future of Canadian healthcare. I invite all those passionate about advancing our system to join us as we reimagine healthcare to meet today’s challenges.

As part of “Prescribing Innovation: AI as a Catalyst for Change” hosted by C.D. Howe Institute, I’ll be joining Marc Koehn and Dr. Gail Tomblin Murphy to discuss how AI is transforming health care delivery. As CEO of AMS Healthcare, I believe that innovation isn’t just about technology. It’s about rethinking how we approach patient care, equity, and outcomes. I’m committed to fostering innovation that makes a real difference for patients, caregivers, and health professionals. My journey in healthcare leadership, from the Ontario Ministry of Health to Cancer Care Ontario, has reinforced my belief that systems-level transformation is both possible and necessary to ensure that emerging technologies like AI serve everyone equitably. I hope you’ll to join us on November 12 at 12 pm (ET) to discuss AI’s potential to drive this change. With expertise spanning consulting, technology, and population health, I’m eager to delve into how we can harness AI’s full power to create sustainable, patient-centered solutions with my esteemed peers. Looking forward to the insights and inspiration this conversation will bring! More information here: https://lnkd.in/gkSZ5Rw4

Congratulations to Vincent Auffrey! His research challenges the assumption that French Canadians rejected eugenics due to Catholic beliefs. It examines how eugenic ideas, such as public education campaigns and premarital health exams, became part of French Canadian medical practice in the early 20th century. The project sheds light on how eugenics influenced medical discourse and practice, revealing a complex relationship between religion, medicine, and society.

Connection to the land is a sacred bond for Indigenous Peoples. Randy Trudeau discusses how grounding oneself in nature is a powerful form of healing rooted in Anishinaabe culture. From walking barefoot on the earth to connecting with medicinal plants, these practices offer profound benefits to both body and spirit. He explores the deep relationship between land and health in Indigenous culture. Randy is a hunter, artist, and traditional medicine harvester from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory on Manitoulin Island. 🎧 Learn more on Episode 16 of Indigenous Medicine Stories: https://buff.ly/3PE0kTr

Leadership through a crisis is as much about groundwork as it is about quick decisions. Donna Duncan, CEO of the Ontario Long Term Care Association, emphasizes the importance of cultivating relationships within organizations and across government to create long-term success. Having champions in place means your leadership can extend beyond just one key decision-maker—an entire system can move forward together. Listen to Compassionate Minds now: https://buff.ly/3PE0kTr
