Praxus Health

This Climate Week, we are incredibly proud to see our collective work take the stage. 🌍 Yesterday, our partner Dr. Claire Barber presented two policy briefs at the launch of the Climate Health System Alliance, briefs that Praxus Health helped write alongside the O'Brien Institute for Public Health at UCalgary.

One focuses on building a more resilient health system. The other is on shifting toward prevention and community-based care before people ever need a hospital.
This is the kind of work we believe in. Finding the gaps, bringing partners to the table, and staying in it long enough to make the work stick.

We are grateful to work alongside the O'Brien Institute on this one. Looking forward to building a healthier, more resilient Alberta, together. 🙏

Last week, the Praxus Health and Canadian Immunocompromised Advocacy Network (CIAN) teams attended Canada's Drug Agency (CDA) Symposium in Ottawa, connecting with patient advocates, drug access decision makers, and health system influencers from across Canada. 🤝

It was an energizing few days of conversation around how drug access pathways are evolving and how patient voices can be more meaningfully embedded throughout the entire continuum.

We were encouraged by CDA's commitment to collaborative, patient-centred approaches, and left with renewed momentum to keep pushing for equitable access to life-saving treatments. 💬
