Abstract

Despite myriad challenges faced by Canadians, and with ongoing political issues, it is reassuring to see that our policy makers continue to stay focused on along the healthcare crises. This is a signal of how vitally we rely on our publicly funded system, how much it is woven into the fabric of our national identity and how much we are feeling the effects of a system at the brink. We also understand that health and healthcare are impacted by a broad range of factors that require adaptive and innovative solutions. As we look across the country, our editorial team continues to be inspired by this kind of leadership, and we are excited to highlight leading practices in each edition of Healthcare Quarterly.
