 Dr Simon N. PimstoneMD, PhD, FRCPC President & CEO Xenon Pharmaceuticals Inc. I have known Ramona Josephson in a professional capacity for over 10 years. We worked closely together in a clinical setting, managing patients with cholesterol abnormalities. We also established a network of lipid clinics through out British Columbia to serve the needs of patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. The success of this project was driven by Ramona's great enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism. She was instrumental in developing effective training and educational tools for physicians and patients. Ramona has developed a powerful reputation and remains highly regarded by physicians and other health care professionals in this Province. Her ability to develop and deliver creative programs and translate these into usable tools for patients to tackle their nutritional questions and improve their eating habits is well recognized. Losing weight is not easy. As a physician and scientist working in the area of cholesterol and weight reduction, I know the challenge. Ramona will allow you to climb higher, jump further and open your eyes to the fact that it is possible to do better." |
