ABOUT MICHAEL WHEADON
Recognized health care leader in Quality Improvement, Patient Safety, Risk Management and Accreditation, with extensive consultant experience across the full spectrum of healthcare. Currently serving as Director of Quality, Safety, and Innovation for Laboratory Medicine at Interior Health, Michael has held a variety of leadership roles throughout his 20+ year career. With prior experience as Site & Seniors Manager, Community & Rural Hospitals, Michael brings a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in translating quality improvements into real-world healthcare practice.

A key moment in this journey was his visit to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, where the REDress Project Exhibit focusing on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women left a lasting impact, deepening his commitment to equity, inclusion, and patient-centered care in all aspects of his work.\"We are the people we have been waiting for\"
