It is because of leaders like Angela Robertson of @PQWCHC that disruptive change will happen to truly move those most vulnerable towards better health. Here's to making more #goodtrouble #advocacychampion

[Healthy Debate @HealthyDebate]

Angela Robertson, the director of @PQWCHC, has long been an #advocate – but the #pandemic has driven her advocacy to new levels.

Now is the time "to push for real, substantive, tangible change," she says. "I have been unrelenting in making good trouble.”
