Dr. Chilvers is the 2021 Above and Beyond Award winner from Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
Dr. Mark Chilvers has been a pediatric respirologist and CF clinic director at BC Children’s Hospital since 2008. CF Canada recognized his work with the Above and Beyond Award, an honour bestowed to health-care and research professionals who have consistently contributed to the organization’s mission.
Under his leadership, the CF research program has grown to establish BC Children’s Hospital as a key founding member of the Canadian CF clinic trials network. The clinic has developed into a first-class CF clinic, providing specialized and multi-disciplinary care to individuals with CF from across B.C. and the Yukon.
Earlier this year, Mark was appointed as provincial medical director of Cystic Fibrosis Care BC (CFCBC), a new provincial health improvement network within PHSA, which aims to optimize health outcomes and access to high-quality integrated health-care services for all pediatric and adult patients with CF in B.C. and the Yukon. He is also a key author in the development of Canadian CF Clinical Guidelines and Standard of Care.
“Mark is passionate about ensuring all CF patients receive the best care possible. He inspires innovation and is dedicated to generating meaningful research and quality improvements that benefit the entire CF community in B.C. and across Canada,” said Micheline Wiebe, executive director, Trauma Services BC and Cystic Fibrosis Care BC.
