"I'm humbled and honoured by the award", said Joseph Gabriele . "I'm grateful to the Delivra team who are the true heroes. I'm proud that EY has recognized the capabilities of our unique patented delivery system, DelivraTM, for pharmaceutical and natural molecules across a spectrum of medical and consumer products capabilities. Delivra was born out of a need to help my wife who was debilitated by post-surgery pain, hence the genesis of our novel topical solution. She feared the addictive powers of opioids and couldn't take oral medications due to digestive challenges. Today, Delivra helps many pain suffers in Canada and internationally. We also have an over-the-counter product line, called LivReliefTM, and just launched a new Extra Strength Chronic Angry Pain cream, as well as a unique new Sports & Active cream. In our pharmaceutical division, we are helping patients that are suffering with pain related to medical issues, including diabetes, and we have the capability of delivering cannabis and CBD to both humans and animals, topically and effectively. Our mission is to help pain sufferers reclaim their lives back. We are excited about the future and our proven capability and potential to help millions of people."

"Companies in the health care sector face a challenging and competitive landscape," says Paula Smith , EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Ontario Program Co-Director. " Canada , in particular, has an aging population and growing demand for patient care, pushing entrepreneurs to respond quickly and thoughtfully with innovative solutions to meet changing needs."

"Delivra is doing just that," adds Elena Doucette , EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Ontario Program Co-Director. "They're revolutionizing the delivery of pain relief, and doing it in a safer and more effective way for those in need. We're proud to have recognized the outstanding work Joseph is doing in the health care sector."
