How Aaron is building a better working world

“Real transformation isn’t about changing for change’s sake. It’s about working backward from what your clients, stakeholders and patients need the most, and evolving accordingly to offer recommendations fit for purpose right now. It is energizing to work with the Canadian government entities and health care providers to identify those challenges and propel progress that will have a big impact on citizens from coast to coast.”
