In Memoriam: Dr. Jill M. Sanders
We regret to announce
that Dr. Jill M. Sanders, President and CEO of the Canadian Agency for Drugs
and Technologies in Health (CADTH), died peacefully in hospital on February
15th, 2010, following a six-month battle with cancer.
Dr. Sanders was appointed President and CEO in 1997. She led the transformation of CADTH from a small office into an agency with a national and international reputation for quality. CADTH now has a significant and growing impact on the quality and sustainability of health care in Canada.
Dr. Sanders’ strength was an inspiration to everyone she met. Her vision for the organization continues because of the solid foundation she put into place.
