Southlake Regional Health Centre has a long history of engaging with innovators. The OBIO® EAHN™ program has allowed us to ‘up our game’ with access to pre-vetted, commercial ready Canadian technologies – letting us focus on completing the type of value-based analysis that supports future procurement. We see this approach as the kind of win-win that benefits patients both here and around the world.
