Some Canadians are more vulnerable to ill health than others because of determinants like their gender, income, education, race/ethnicity, Aboriginal status, sexual orientation, or where they live. These determinants also shape Canadians? access to primary health care (the provision and coordination of health services that are responsive to community needs). If there?s no one-size-fits-all model, how can we ensure that Canadians have equitable access to primary health care? How can we design a health care system that protects against vulnerability? Please join us for a stimulating discussion with health experts about access to primary health care for vulnerable populations. The expert speakers featured on the panel are: **Dr. Sherry L. Grace**, Scientist, Division of Behavioural Sciences & Health, Toronto General Research Institute **Dr. Stephen W. Hwang**, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto **Anna Travers**, Director, Rainbow Health Ontario The event is co-moderated by **Dr. Colleen Flood**, Scientific Director, CIHR?s Institute of Health Services and Policy Research, and *Dr. Joy Johnson*, Scientific Director, CIHR?s Institute of Gender and Health. If you have accessibility needs, please contact the organizers and we will do our best to accommodate you. /What is CIHR?/ The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the Government of Canada?s agency for health research. CIHR?s mission is to create new scientific knowledge and to catalyze its translation into improved health, more effective health services and products, and a strengthened Canadian health-care system. Composed of 13 Institutes, CIHR provides leadership and support to more than 11,000 health researchers and trainees across Canada. www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca <http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca> <http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/> *For more information about this event, please contact: * Sandra Ramezani Communications Officer Institute of Gender and Health <http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/8673.html> Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) University of British Columbia, Room 208, 2259 Lower Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4 sramezani(a)exchange.ubc.ca <mailto:sramezani@exchange.ubc.ca> <mailto:sramezani@exchange.ubc.ca> Telephone 604-827-3445 Facsimile 604-822-1622 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fgs logo -- Gene Senior Recruitment, Promotion and Communications Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Manitoba http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/ p (204) 474 6172 f (204) 474 7553 Find out more about our students!
