About this episode

The episode discusses the inaugural Santis-Nanos Canadian Health Perspective survey and its implications for health care in Canada.

In this deep dive, veteran health journalist Avis Favaro sits down with Nik Nanos (Nanos Research) and Patrick Nelson (Santis Health) to break down the inaugural Santis-Nanos Canadian Health Perspective - a national survey tracking public sentiment on health care delivery, priorities, and system innovation. Worried and frustrated by the status quo, Canadians have lost confidence in the system's current trajectory. However, the data reveals more than just discontent; it provides a clear mandate. Canadians are giving governments and decision-makers the license to move faster, innovate, and disrupt the status quo to improve access - all while protecting our publicly-funded system. Combining Nanos Research’s public opinion methodology with Santis Health’s deep sector expertise, this conversation reveals the critical evidence gaps facing Canadian health care today and how leaders can partner to build better outcomes, better access, and better health for all.
