Health Leadership Academy, Mc Master University & International foundation for Integrated Care (Canada), University of Toronto; Canada

Jodeme thrives when she’s working with communities, systems and groups to create a shared vision to tackle the tough challenges and pressures that our society is facing today. Organizations and communities need to embrace the complexity of their environment and lean into the opportunities to integrate and intersect with others to create seamless services and experiences. Population health and wellness cannot be achieved without a shared commitment, combined effort and radical collaboration across communities and systems.

Jodeme knows the value of high performing integrated health care systems, and she understands that integration can only be achieved by partnering with clients, caregivers, and those that work in health and social care, to design and deliver on the promises of health and wellbeing. With Jodeme’s breadth of experience within the system, and in bringing disparate parts of the system together, she knows both the benefits of this approach up close and understands the important factors that lead to success.

Jodeme is blending her track record of support for large scale transformative change with her deep understanding of the latest knowledge to share on a bigger platform. Instead of influencing change one person or team at a time, Jodeme is committed to building the capacity for this work in others on a large scale and engaging in the high stakes, complex, multi organizational facilitation.

Jodeme brings over 25 years of experience in health and social care and health policy on a local, national and international stage. She is the Co-Founder of IFIC Canada, the North American Centre for Integrated Care at the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health and serves on the Board and is Treasurer for the International Foundation for Integrated Care. She is a leadership coach, and serves as a Strategic Advisor, Capability Builder, Convenor and break through Facilitator. Jodeme is a Fellow of Dr. Helen Bevan, Adjunct Faculty at the University of Toronto’s Institute for Health Policy, Management and Evaluation and is part of the leadership team for the Health Leadership Academy at Mc Master University, a nationally unique partnership between the DeGroote School of Business and the Faculty of Health Sciences. Jodeme was the recipient of the Universal Woman’s Network national ‘Catalyst for Change’ award. She was nominated for this award by the many communities she collaborates with to enable them to reach the goals of integration and population health.
