Our People

Our Management Team

At Canada Health Infoway, we have assembled a team of professionals whose experience in the health care and information technology sectors will help us attain our goal of fostering and accelerating the development and adoption of electronic health information systems across the country with tangible benefits for Canadians.

Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors includes two federal representatives, one representative from each of the five regions of Canada – nominated by provincial and territorial governments – and four to six independent directors.

Members of Canada Health Infoway

Infoway is a unique organization by virtue of its membership – the 14 Deputy Ministers of Health of the federal, provincial and territorial governments of Canada. We are equally accountable to all of our Members who represent their jurisdictions, report to their Ministers, and may make available any report or plan to their Minister. This ensures that all Ministers are informed of Infoway's plans, progress and issues. Members also endorse our annual Corporate Business Plan which is approved by the Board.
