10 years ago, Dr. Craig Simmons set out to get engineers, biologists, and clinicians solving heart failure together. As he steps back as Scientific Lead of TBEP, we're looking back at a decade of breakthroughs, TRANSFORM HF, and a generation of researchers he's mentored. ❤️

Heart failure rates in northern Ontario are twice the provincial average — in part because of how far patients have to travel for specialized care. Dr. Heather Ross is trying to fix that with portable ‘hospital in a Pelican case’ she can carry to remote communities: www.begiant.ca/stories/peop...
