Background

About Daman Dhillon

Passionate about public health, policy, and community development, I bring over eight years of experience working across federal, territorial, and First Nations and Inuit governments. I specialize in managing complex health programs, policies, and emergency response initiatives that improve outcomes for underserved populations. With a strong background in health policy analysis, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement, I have led large-scale projects, including securing $200M in federal funding for First Nations health infrastructure, managing a $29.5M annual budget, and coordinating national and territorial emergency response efforts. I have extensive experience advising senior leadership, developing evidence-based policies, and fostering collaboration between governments, communities, and organizations. Recognized for leadership and excellence in public health, I have received multiple awards, including the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Award for Excellence and the Deputy Minister’s Recognition Award for COVID-19 Response. I am committed to driving impactful, culturally responsive health initiatives that empower communities and create meaningful, lasting change. Let’s connect to collaborate on public health, Indigenous health policy, and community-driven initiatives.
