Today we talk with Julia Hanigsberg, the President and CEO of Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Canada’s largest paediatric rehabilitation hospital and an academic health science centre fully affiliated with the University of Toronto. Julia has spent her career in government, post-secondary education and healthcare as a champion for cultural transformation, innovation, excellence and social justice.
During our conversation we talk about Julia's unique path into healthcare and how COVID has forced us to quickly and efficiently overcome challenges that previously seemed immense. We also talk about the Black Lives Matter movement and why equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice needs to be the focus of every healthcare leader.
