The AHP’s Top 40 Under 40 program recognizes the most promising young leaders in healthcare philanthropy from around the world. This honour is not only a testament to their leadership and innovation, but also to their impact in healthcare. Jeanine’s inclusion in this group highlights her incredible contributions and dedication to advancing healthcare through philanthropy.

“Through our work at the Royal Alexanda Hospital Foundation we are privileged to support one of the biggest and busiest hospitals in western Canada. The Royal Alex is a leader in women's health, cardiac care, addictions and mental health, and eye health.
