John Collins, C.M.
Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia

John Collins has helped bring women’s health to the forefront of medicine. As an obstetrician-gynaecologist, professor and mentor, he underscored the value of employing evidence-based research and biostatistics to advance our understanding of reproductive endocrinology. This, in turn, helps health care providers and patients make enlightened decisions regarding fertility options and related treatments. Internationally renowned for his writings, he notably examined the consequences of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, and has served on the editorial boards of such eminent journals as the New England Journal of Medicine.
