Each year CAHN/ACHN invites a recognised scholar of nursing history to present a keynote lecture on his/her expertise. This lecture is named in honour of Dr. Jason Hannah, the founder of Canada’s first physician-sponsored not-for-profit healthcare organisation, Associated Medical Services (AMS). AMS has generously provided financial support for this lecture series since 2004.
