Earlier today, @KHSCceo, and a panel of local health care experts, met with local business leaders at the @ChamberYGK Community Voices Breakfast to share a bold vision for the future of health care in our region โ€” one where care, research, education and innovation come together to drive both better health outcomes and local economic growth. From advances in genomics, CAR-T therapy, and robotic surgery, to the long-term vision for a new health and life sciences district, weโ€™re positioning Kingston to become Canada's next great hub for health innovation. A huge thank you to the Chamber of Commerce for hosting this important conversation and to all of the local community leaders who attended. #YGK #HealthInnovation #EconomicGrowth #myKHSC #KingstonOntario
