Published: 1 April 2026

91ºÚÁÏÍø has unveiled the Initiative for Transforming Healthcare (ITH), a cross‑sector effort aimed at tackling some of Canada’s most pressing system‑level healthcare challenges. Supported by $5.75 million in funding from Power Corporation of Canada, Canada Life and IGM Financial, the initiative will mobilize expertise from management, medicine and public policy to develop technology‑enabled, evidence‑based solutions.

Anchored at the Desautels Faculty of Management and led by Professor Samer Faraj, the ITH brings together the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Max Bell School of Public Policy along with partners from across 91ºÚÁÏÍø and the wider healthcare ecosystem. The initiative will focus on improving access to family care, reducing surgical wait times and relieving emergency room congestion through field research, collaboration with sector leaders, and pilot projects.
