André Picard, who has served as the Globe and Mail’s health reporter for three decades, is one of the most informative and influential voices in Canadian health-care. At the centre of Picard’s work is a consistent call for a more just and compassionate Canadian health-care system.
Is Canada’s public health-care system under threat? What are the social and economic impacts of mental illness? Why is tackling poverty not a health-care priority? Why do so many Canadians lack a family doctor?
André Picard is the author of five books including the newly published Matters of Life and Death (Douglas & McIntyre 2017). He has received much acclaim for his reporting and writing, including the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service Journalism.
