Edmonton, Alberta
For his contributions to the management of cardiovascular disease and to the advancement of patient health management.
Terrence Montague has helped to improve the health of Canadians. As director of cardiology at the University of Alberta and, later, as vice-president of patient health at Merck Canada, he developed a patient-centred model of care that has improved
health outcomes for whole populations with chronic diseases. He led several disease management projects using this model, including one of the first heart function clinics in North America, the multi-centre Clinical Quality Improvement Network, and the
Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes project in Nova Scotia, which was permanently adopted by the provincial department of health.
