David has been selected as one of Digital Health Canada’s top Community Care Leaders of the Year for 2022. He is widely recognized as a champion for digital healthcare across Canada for encouraging the use of digital solutions to improve knowledge-based practice and the quality of patient care. David is known amongst colleagues for a bias towards action when it comes to improving community care, and is not afraid to face challenges in order to get there. He has achieved this recognition through building Thrive Health’s reputation as a leader in digital health, and through his involvement in multiple government and industry projects to improve healthcare system operations and patient care across Canada.

“The work being done by Thrive Health today is helping to revolutionize healthcare and solve these data fragmentation issues,” said David. “Our team members are so passionate about the work and the impact it can have.”

Thrive Health is grateful to David for his dedication in building our mission-driven company, and his ongoing commitment to make healthcare work better for everyone. His vision and leadership have inspired our team to innovate, push boundaries, and keep the patient experience at the center of everything we do.
