Canadians feel more stress about money, their mental health is worsening and inefficiencies in the health system have left many struggling to find adequate care. 

That’s bad for people’s health—and it’s bad for the economy. 

Just as finances and health are intertwined, so are Canada’s economy and its health system: if Canadians aren’t feeling their best, they’re not going to perform their best. 

And if the latest labour productivity numbers are any indication, Canada is not at its best.

A digital transformation entrepreneur, an international health policy expert and a trailblazing financial planner came together to talk about how to turn this around. 

The Logic’s David Reevely welcomed Naomi Goldapple, senior vice-president of data and intelligence at AlayaCare, Dr. Kwame McKenzie, CEO at Wellesley Institute, and Shannon Lee Simmons, certified financial planner and founder of the New School of Finance, to discuss solutions and possibilities for a healthier and wealthier Canada. 

Featuring opening remarks from Dave Jones, president of Sun Life Health, the panellists discussed mental, physical and financial health in search of ways to improve a system on the brink—and the opportunities for business, financial and tech leaders to help.

Catch up on their conversation in the video below.
