Dr. Joss Reimer is Chief Medical Officer of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association. She is well-known as the former medical lead and official spokesperson for Manitoba's COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Taskforce, through which she led the largest and most successful vaccine campaign in provincial history.

Dr. Joss Reimer

Reimer is a leader who embodies compassion, integrity, vision, and determination. Her previous work includes being medical director of public health for Winnipeg, a lead medical officer for the Government of Manitoba, and a director for the University of Manitoba’s undergraduate medical education program. She continues to operate a clinical practice in maternity care, labour, and delivery at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.

Reimer comes from Winkler, MB and spent time living around the world studying language, political science, and international relations before earning her Doctor of Medicine and Master of Public Health. She is an expert in physician wellness, public health, infectious diseases, harm reduction, science communication, and much more.

CMU is inspired by Reimer’s willingness to face complex challenges for the health and the good of all, her passion for collaboration, her drive to improve the world, and her commitment to maintaining hope amidst crisis.
