Compassionate Healthcare Technology
Let's bring more compassion into modern, technology-driven care.
Why this particular focus?
In our healthcare system, technology is advancing with incredible speed and bringing improved outcomes to patients across Canada. Like us, you support these advances, and also know the risks they pose to the human experience. We're issuing a call to healthcare providers, educators, leaders and policymakers across the country: Let's embrace the rapid integration of technology into care while keeping healthcare grounded in its compassionate purpose.
If your work bridges the gap between technology and compassionate care, you could benefit from our grants, fellowships, and a network of health leaders across the country.
