Ohle to research cardio and cerebrovascular disease with Indigenous and rural communities
Dr. Robert Ohle has been appointed Heart and Stroke Foundation/NOSM University Chair in Indigenous and Rural Health Research for a five-year renewable term.
Northern Ontario has a higher rate of chronic disease than the provincial average. Leading efforts across a large geographic area with diverse populations, Ohle will promote a shared vision for cardio- and cerebrovascular disease research and share best practices and clinical guidelines to improve quality of care and patient outcomes.
Ohle, who immigrated to Canada from Ireland, is the Vice-President, Academic and Research Impact, at Health Sciences North and Health Sciences North Research Institute , an emergency room physician at HSN, and an Associate Professor at NOSM University. “Heart & Stroke is committed to working in full partnership to advance health equity in Indigenous communities and meeting the challenges of health reconciliation,” said Dr. Lesley James, Director of Health Policy & Systems at Heart & Stroke.
