 Dr. Jayna Holroyd-Leduc, Department Head, Department of Medicine

The department as a collective continues to make significant contributions across the CARE (clinical/quality; administration/leadership; research/scholarship; education/teaching) pillars. Several of these accomplishments are highlighted in the 2023-2024 DOM annual report. The sky is the limit in terms of what new discoveries, innovations and practice changes department members can accomplish together moving into 2025. 

Although there will be many challenges in 2025 as the Alberta healthcare system continues with government-directed changes, together we will continue to focus within our areas of control and influence – towards realizing our mission to equitably advance health and wellness by cultivating a community of diverse physicians who lead through care delivery, discovery, innovation, education and knowledge implementation.

Our collective achievements are a testament to the skill, perseverance, and teamwork that define our department. Whether in patient care, research, teaching, or administrative support, each of you contribute significantly to our shared mission of advancing medical knowledge and improving patient outcomes. It is because of your tireless efforts that we continue to make meaningful strides forward despite the ever-changing healthcare landscape in the province. Your dedication and resilience are truly inspiring.

This February, we will once again launch the Healthy Hearts Challenge, a fun tradition that not only promotes physical and mental health but also strengthens our sense of community and teamwork. I encourage everyone to participate, as it’s a wonderful opportunity to focus on our well-being while connecting with colleagues. 

As we navigate the months ahead, I encourage you to remember the power of small actions. Every interaction with a patient, every thoughtful collaboration with a colleague, every expression of appreciation, and every effort to improve a process contributes to the excellence we strive for. These seemingly small steps add up to transformative progress, both for our Department and the patients we serve.

Together, I am confident we can rise to any challenge and continue to make a meaningful impact in 2025. Here’s to a year of growth, collaboration, and outstanding care!
