Join CHLPE and the Canadian Health Workforce Network for a book launch of the new biography of Dr. Murray Enkin. Anyone who has enjoyed the happiness and intimacy of a family-centred birth, and any midwife or health professional who has attended one, owes a debt of gratitude to this internationally known Canadian doctor, researcher, and medical reformer. Enjoying the Interval explores Dr. Enkin’s identity and achievements along with the social context that shaped them. It offers a critical assessment of the ongoing challenges in maternity care, the field to which Enkin devoted his life. But it is also the story of an immigrant Jewish family's contribution to Canadian society and the wider world.

This event will be held in-person at the Atelier, near St. Paul University on Main St. (Ottawa). Light refreshments will be served. All welcome!
