How John is building a better working world
"At EY, we’re proud to serve Canada’s leading health organizations as trusted advisors in executing change, not just envisioning it. Together with my team, I have the privilege of going to work every day with health leaders across the country with the single aim of bettering Canada’s health care system for citizens, patients and their families.
I lead a team that devotes their working lives to solving some of the most complex issues, directly impacting people’s lives and the wellbeing of society. I’ve advised ministers, ministries of health and health care providers across Canada on large scale system change, sustainability and modernization. They’ve trusted us to support big change and together, we’re making our system better."
