Dan Burton is a Clinical Pharmacist at Calgary Foothills Primary Care Network in Calgary, Alberta, and founder of Healthcare Evolution for Weight Management. He is also co-founder of Pharmacy Innovators and Leaders of Alberta (PILA), a grassroots initiative to unite pharmacists in the provision of the best possible patient care by sharing knowledge and tools, developing drivers of change and inspiring a passion for leadership and innovative practice. Since 2017, PILA has offered interactive events to stimulate discussions, networking and socializing, enabling pharmacists to share ideas and foster mentorship opportunities.
With the help of funding from CFP’s Wellspring Pharmacy Leadership Awards, Dan and the rest of the founders of PILA will continue their work, aiming for four events per year, while ensuring future growth and sustainability.
