Bold Choices in Health Care
2022-12-08 18:30 - 20:00
The way we deliver health care is clearly failing both patients and providers, as disparities in access grow, wait times soar, and levels of burnout rise. What went wrong, where are the biggest opportunities for change and what can we learn from existing models of success?

The second event in the CMA’s Health Summit Series: Bold Choices in Health Care will focus on how we can do better – in primary, specialty and surgical care – to make the system more effective and efficient for everyone.

Join us on Dec. 8 from 6:30 to 8 pm ET for a candid panel discussion hosted by CMA President Dr. Alika Lafontaine featuring:

Dr. Brian Goldman, emergency physician, author and broadcaster

Deb Matthews, former Ontario Minister of Health and Long-Term Care

Dr. Rita McCracken, family physician and primary care services and workforce researcher

Claire Snyman, author and patient advocate

Don’t miss this important conversation. Your input is essential to making the best decisions on the way forward.

Tina Korownyk and Adrienne Lindblad will discuss management approaches and provide easy-to-use resources for patients and providers that encourage shared decision-making.
