Some of Canada’s leading frontline health practitioners, administrators and thinkers have agreed to participate in the Frontline Health Project by taking the time to talk about their work. They are all eloquent in their description of the issues, the challenges they face in finding solutions and their reasons for wanting to make things better. Their individual stories create an inspiring and informative narrative of the energy and innovation to be found on the frontlines in Canada but they all have more to say – to fellow health professionals and to interested Canadians. Much of it is gathered here.
