February 2013: It is with great sadness that we mark the sudden passing of our colleague Dr. Clyde Hertzman on February 8, 2013. Clyde’s influence in the fields of occupational health, population health, epidemiology, and early child development has been significant within BC, nationally, and internationally.
For over 20 years, Clyde played a major role in using compensation data and promoting data linkage in BC. Clyde was one of the pioneering researchers who led work in support of the Royal Commission on Workers’ Compensation in BC in 1998, the foundational project that led to the establishment of the Partnership for Work, Health and Safety.
Our thoughts are with his family, and the many people to whom he was an esteemed colleague, mentor, and inspiration.
Further tribute to Clyde’s work can be found on the School of Population and Public Health and Centre for Health Services and Policy Research websites. Tributes can be shared on the Human Early Learning Partnership website.
