Key Speakers
Dr. Greg Andreas started his medical journey in an ambulance service in South Africa, and he now works a family physician in Cranbrook, BC. Dr. Andreas champions team-based approaches, recognizing that complex medical and emotional needs require a team and community effort. He co-leads the Curiosity, Frailty & Palliative Care Project, which aims to embed a palliative approach across the health system that gives a person their best possible last chapters of life. When he is not working, Dr. Andreas enjoys spending his time gardening, running or designing snow shovels.
This session will be moderated by Dr. Gordon Horner. Dr. Horner has been a rural family physician on Haida Gwaii since 2000 and is currently the Chief of Staff for Xaayda Gwaay Ngaaysdll Naay/Haida Gwaii Hospital.
