The July 2024 edition of Healthcare Management Forum offers contributions from experts in the field who have tried and tested strategies for patient engagement.

In our haste, it is easy to lose sight of the most important stakeholder in providing care, the patient.
The Guest Editor for this edition is Dave Ludwick, BSc, ME, PEng, MBA, PMP, PhD, ICD D, CHE, the former Executive Director of the Edmonton North Primary Care Network, and an accomplished leader with more than 25 years of senior executive healthcare management experience.

As a national organization that focuses our efforts on leadership development within the healthcare sector, CCHL has a unique opportunity to ensure that present and future non-Indigenous health leaders develop an understanding of the impacts of inter-generational trauma and the importance of creating culturally safe programs and services – and, through our journal, Healthcare Management Forum (HMF), we have the opportunity to ensure that health leaders are equipped with the knowledge and skills to do so. To that end, HMF has created an ever-growing, special collection of articles dedicated to Indigenous health.
