Dr Bonnie Henry, Icon
BC Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, MD MPH, FRCPC, will be the recipient of the 2020 Icon Award. Selected internally by the YWCA, the Icon Award recognizes an extraordinary woman for her achievements throughout her lifetime. Dr. Henry has become a household name as she led the province’s successful and life-saving COVID-19 response.
She has also brought leadership and much-needed attention to the continued overdose crisis. The YWCA applauds her contributions to public health here in BC, across Canada and internationally throughout her career. Her track record of excellence is an inspiration to so many.
To celebrate Dr. Henry’s many achievements, she will join Lesly Tayles, Senior Vice President, BC & Yukon Region at Scotiabank, for a special conversation. This exclusive interview will cover Dr. Henry’s significant contributions to public health and her experiences leading British Columbia through this complex time.
