Over the past ten plus years I have developed a deep passion for the digital health industry. Our industry has shown it true potential with assisting the management of our recent pandemic. Digital Health has tremendous ability to enhance health care as a whole, along with the social side of our country. Our work to continue to innovate to assist the overall health and well-being of our county is a key factor to the well-being and health of our county. Aligning the broad stakeholder group with leadership accountability of health care in our country is a task we need to ensure stays a priority. Digital Health Canada along with CHIEF play a key role in bringing the broad stakeholder group together at tables. The work to ensure this alignment is a priority is a passion of mine, and one I feel can be accomplished at the Board of Digital Health Canada. The time on the board of Digital Health Canada over the past two years have provided me with the foundation to keep advancing the strategy of DHC. I am honoured to have served on the board for the past two years, and I’d be honoured again to provide leadership on the board for two more years as we guide our digital health industry forward.
