Ryle Restoule BA, MSc, PhD
Vice-President Coordinator of Indigenous Health ResearchIn her role, Ryle wants to build and lead a research team that centres Indigenous voices, needs, and health outcomes in a system that has long overlooked them. One of her first initiatives is to research the role and impact of Indigenous Patient Navigators. These are individuals who help Indigenous patients access services, manage travel logistics, and feel culturally safe while receiving care in hospital environments that can otherwise be alienating or intimidating.
