November 30, 2021 — Digital Health Canada today announced the names of those chosen as Women Leaders in Digital Health 2021.
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 recognizes women at any stage of their career progressions 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 profession) to Leaders (within their department or organization) to Executives (representing Director level and up). Each year, up to ten new Women Leaders in Digital Health are selected for recognition by an adjudication committee of industry peers.
