Derek Weiss – Honouring Health Care Providers and Patients

Derek Weiss is a storyteller, haiku poet, and manager of community engagement at Vancouver’s Union Gospel Mission. He is also an occasional blood donor, as we shall learn in his Pecha Kucha presentation.

Derek was the fourth speaker at Health Talks: Bold Ideas to Transform Health Care, where 10 inspiring speakers, comprising a blend of health care providers and the public, shared their hopes for the health care system using the Pecha Kucha-powered 20 x 20 format (20 slides, 20 seconds each).
