Health & Wellbeing

Healthcare systems around the world are undergoing major transformations to address challenges around access to care, integration, prevention, and complex care needs. TMU embraces a person-centred vision of health and wellbeing that focuses on quality of life and promoting wellbeing for all across the life course. In advancing health-related SRC activities, our multidisciplinary and multisectoral researchers work across a range of disciplines and perspectives to address personal, social, economic, legal, technological, and environmental factors impacting health and wellbeing at the individual, community, national, and global levels. Our collaborative approach recognizes the diverse needs of all Canadians and includes health research with, for, and by disabled people, 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous, Black, immigrant, and other equity-deserving groups. Together, we can develop effective interventions and policies to address the array of physiological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that collectively influence an individual's health and wellbeing. At TMU, our community-focused approach and strategic partnerships with key health service organizations aim to make health and health care accessible to all.
