Come Hell or High Water: Panel on building resilience, managing risk and gaining returns from climat

On June 12th, Neil led a panel discussion at the National Health Leadership Conference ( NHLC) in Vancouver on the growing concern of the impact of severe weather events on hospital operations and the health of the communities they serve. The NHLC is the largest national gathering of health system decision-makers in Canada including trustees, chief executive officers, directors, managers, department heads and other health leaders representing various sectors and professions in health regions, authorities and alliances, hospitals, long-term care organizations, public health agencies, community care, mental health and social services. As well, the conference draws participants from government, education and research organizations, professional associations, consulting firms and industry. The NHLC aims to explore the challenges and opportunities facing today’s health leadership in Canada, and strives to provide an environment that will cultivate movement from knowledge to action.
