Message from the Board of Trustees

Over the past year, the healthcare needs for Windsor-Essex have been in the spotlight. With both a cross-border community and large migrant worker population, our region faced unique challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic that emphasized the need for health research. The global response to the pandemic showed us, in real-time, how innovative solutions to health crises are driven—first and foremost–by research. We rely on best practices during uncertain times, and the backbone of scientific knowledge provides that mechanism to be a part of the solution. In pure Windsor-Essex fashion, during the toughest of times, our partnership with each other and our region has become stronger than ever.

Looking forward, we will build on the recognition that research and education are a driving force behind the health of our region. We will focus on our strong foundation of individual organizational strengths, and continue to work together to find efficiencies and advance discoveries that will have real and lasting impacts on the health of our community.
