Introducing the inaugural Digital Health Canada Fellows

TORONTO – The Digital Health Canada Fellows program recognizes members who have made significant and sustained voluntary contributions through the association to advance the digital health industry in Canada. Digital Health Canada Fellows represent the pinnacle of volunteerism, combining experience, professionalism, and contributions made to their peers and the industry through active and sustained engagement with Digital Health Canada.

Digital Health Canada Fellows are the leaders and contributors who champion and promote the association and digital health in Canada.

Fellows are recognized as advocates, champions, and leading volunteer contributors to Digital Health Canada. Once selected, Fellows are expected to continue to serve as association supporters, mentors, volunteer leaders, speakers, and industry advocates. Fellows will identify areas of key contribution annually as part of their Fellow role and commitment to ongoing volunteer leadership on behalf of the association and digital health industry.
