Empowering communities to address health risks goal of new UFV Research Chair Cindy Jardine – UFV Today
UFV’s newest Canada Research Chair believes strongly in the power of communication. Especially when it comes to spreading the word about risk.
Dr. Cindy Jardine took a circuitous educational and career journey to her new post as a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Health and Community at UFV. Most recently a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta, Jardine has also worked for the provincial environment ministries in Alberta, on a Canadian-funded project in Indonesia, as a university research associate in the field of environmental risk management, and for Alberta Health in the area of health research.
Dr. Adrienne Chan, AVP of Research at UFV, is excited about the focus on community health research that Jardine will help create at UFV.
