Digital Health Canada is pleased to announce the names of those chosen as the 2024 Women Leaders in Digital Health.
Launched in 2017 by Digital Health Canada, the annual Women Leaders in Digital Health Award recognizes those visionaries who are harnessing the power of IT to transform Canadian health and healthcare. The award is unique among power lists and award programs in that it welcomes nominations for women at any stage of their career progression and is inclusive of all women of influence no matter where they might be in the health IT field.
The award is open to all women working in the Canadian digital health community at all stages of their career from Emerging Professionals (first 7 years in the profession) to Leaders (within their department or organization) to Executives (representing Director level and up).
