We are a passionate and dedicated team of researchers, doctors, and patient partners who have made it our mission to improve the health and quality of life for all Canadians living with a chronic disease regardless of their age, ethnicity, or gender. Chronic conditions are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. We understand the difficulties and complexities that come with managing a chronic condition let alone many conditions and, through our work, we strive to ease this burden.

We know that health care is complex and take into consideration factors that might impact treatment such as, such as location, education, and finances. Our collaboration and partnerships drive our research forward and together we can improve chronic disease care.
