Join us in conversation with Mary Jane Hampton, one of Atlantic Canada’s best-known specialists in health strategy.
Born in the UK and raised on the Canadian prairies, MJ’s career began at the Manitoba Health Organizations in 1984 as a policy advisor, moving to Ontario to manage a District Health Council, and then establishing the Provincial Health Council in Nova Scotia in 1991 – the first such organization to be legislated in Canada.
Her public sector career track was fast and peppered with remarkable opportunities, culminating in her appointment as Nova Scotia’s Commissioner of Health Reform. In that role, she was the principal architect of Nova Scotia’s Health Care Blueprint, which built new governance and delivery systems on a foundation of primary health care.
In 1997 MJ created Stylus Consulting, which has established itself as a go-to consulting firm for thought leaders across the health and social service sectors. As a consultant, she has helped pave the way for new models of primary and urgent care, supported physician communities in shifting to new frameworks of funding and accountability, opened the door for the use of digital health as a tool for quality and has been a long-time champion of First Nation health.
In addition to her full-time consulting practice, she is a regular contributor to CBC Radio and has published several books, including 2024’s Health Hacks: How You Can Get Good Health Care in Nova Scotia.
Join host Liz Crocker as she interviews this fascinating strategist and thinker in the health sector!
Copies of MJ’s books will be available for sale at the event courtesy of our friends The Village Emporium.
