Island Health is home to world-renowned clinicians and researchers making a difference in care not only locally, but also influencing healthcare delivery provincially, nationally, and globally.
Established in 2017, this innovative five-year project integrates leading-edge research and care for patients living with cognitive health issues on Vancouver Island.
Dr. Christine Lee, an Island Health-based clinician scientist, is a nationally renowned researcher working in support of people living with chronic gut disorders.
“When a cognitive health illness impacted our family and we began to understand this issue, we realized that while much research had been done, there is still so much more to do to solve the riddles around cognitive diseases. We reached out to the healthcare professionals in Victoria and asked how can we help? The vision they created for this project resonated with us. It is our great hope that the knowledge gathered will, in time, help thousands of patients.”
