Your ability to get healthy and stay that way depends on who you are. 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.
