Talk Truth 10.27.25 - Deanna McLeod

In this episode of Talk Truth, we welcome Deanna McLeod, principal and founder of Kaleidoscope Strategic. Drawing on her deep experience in medical research, Deanna exposes how Canada’s COVID-19 response disrupted critical cancer care—diverting resources, delaying diagnoses, and leading to missed treatments and preventable deaths, particularly among women. She also shares her mission through the “We Can Do Better” campaign, calling for urgent policy reform to restore patient-centered, multidisciplinary care and ensure that no one is left behind in the next health crisis.
