Healthcare Management Forum is planning a special edition on Chronic Disease Management (from a leadership lens) for January 2027. Chronic diseases are a significant public health issue in Canada and health leaders play a pivotal role in making lasting systemic and patient-centred improvements.
Authors are invited to submit a 200-word abstract to lwilson@cchl-ccls.ca by April 1, 2025.
