Drs. Kutcher
and Mendez
are breaking new
ground in the
fascinating field
of brain repair.
Their story is
about
potential —
the potential
to change lives
and the potential
to add a new dimension
to the local economy.
From Kathmandu
to Dubai and from
Boston to Barcelona,
these internationally-renowned
researchers are
sharing with colleagues
around the
world their findings
and their plans
to establish Halifax
as a global centre
for
innovation in
neuroscience.
Don’t miss
this wonderful
opportunity to
hear their
remarkable story.
Dare to Dream!
You will learn about
the dream that led
to a unique model
of partnership,
a twist on public
/ private partnership,
where a small community
hospital
developed a mutually
beneficial relationship
with a multi-national
corporation.
A daring vision and
a strong passion to
make a difference
in the lives of their
patients led to innovative
solutions and added
value well beyond
the traditional
vendor relationship.
‘Out of the
box’ thinking
has turned a very
ordinary
hospital into a leading
edge facility and
has created an equipment
procurement
model that is being
marketed world-wide.
