Connect with UNB
There is no more challenging and important issue facing Canada today than the delivery of effective, efficient and sustainable health care. UNB and its partners are working to change the future of health care, today.
The Integrated Health Initiative is UNB’s Strategic Vision in action, serving the public good and tackling society’s grand challenges. Through this ambitious initiative, UNB will become the place to which other jurisdictions turn when confronted with seemingly insurmountable health care challenges and social issues.
