"RELIQ HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES NEW US-BASED CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
Reliq Health Technologies Inc. has appointed Illinois-based Dr. Joyce Johnson as its new chief medical officer.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Joyce Johnson to the Reliq team as our Chief Medical Officer," said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO of Reliq Health Technologies, Inc. "Dr. Johnson is Board Certified in Family Medicine and practices at KSB Hospital in Dixon, IL. She completed her residency with the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford, Dixon Rural Training Track. Her expertise and experience working with patients in rural communities in the US is a perfect fit for Reliq. Dr. Johnson has a unique understanding of the impact that chronic diseases have on patients and their families, as her father was on at-home peritoneal dialysis for kidney disease for many years. Her knowledge of the US health system and experience working with Medicare and Medicaid patients will be invaluable to Reliq as we continue to rapidly grow our business in the States. Dr. Johnson is a Canadian expat and completed her undergraduate degree at McMaster University in Reliq's hometown of Hamilton, Ont."
"I am very excited to be joining Reliq as its Chief Medical Officer," said Dr. Johnson. "I am passionate about Reliq's mission to improve access to care for remote and rural patients. It is so important to ensure continuity of care for chronic disease patients in the community to achieve better health outcomes. In this time of COVID-19 it is vital that we limit the risk of exposure for vulnerable populations like seniors and those with underlying medical conditions. The iUGO Care platform gives patients access to their care team from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Keeping these patients healthy and at home can help free up critical healthcare resources for COVID-19 patients."
The Company would like to thank outgoing CMO Dr. Richard Sztramko for his contributions to Reliq, and wish him the best in his clinical practice during this incredibly challenging time for frontline healthcare providers.
