Being Chair has given me new insights into healthcare from those who have had decades more experience
and the opportunity to apply it to my own leadership experience.
-Rob Fraser, Chair, EHL Canada
EHL was birthed in 2006 out of a desire to create a forum for young health leaders, formal learning
opportunities, informal networking opportunities, enable leadership development, as well as to
facilitate knowledge exchange.
EHL currently consists of one National Executive and 7 Node Executives located in:
Calgary, Edmonton, London, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
Each node operates independently; however, Co-Chairs meet monthly with the National Executive.

EHL Nova Scotia (EHL NS) was established in January 2014. The executive committee includes two
Co-chairs, a Membership Director, Communications Director, Events Director, Partnerships Director
and Financial Director. To support the healthy growth of EHL, an advisory council of existing Health
Leaders was formed to support the NS Executive.
Since the launch in 2014, EHL NS has offered several successful opportunities for education and
mentoring, partnered with two major health conferences in Halifax and Charlottetown, and
established key connections with local health leaders, paving the way for future events.
