Stories from the Frontlines of Providing Health Care: AstraZeneca's Canada Frontline Health Program

Stories From the Frontlines

At AstraZeneca Canada, we want the work we're doing in Frontline Health to extend beyond the research, knowledge transfer, and corporate support that form its core. We draw on inspiration from the stories of innovation and commitment we have found on the frontlines and we want to share them with Canadians everywhere. To do this, we've assembled a team of award-winning audio and photo journalists to record and tell the stories.

The Frontline Health Story Project brings together for the first time, the stories of health practitioners working on and thinking about the frontlines. This collection of stories is intended as a resource of inspiration and ideas for other health professionals, for young people imagining a career in medicine, and for Canadians everywhere who want to better understand the problems of access to health services on the frontlines.
