Denis and Pat Protti

This award was created by colleagues in honour of the Protti’s dedication to the field of health informatics. When Denis Protti (UVic health information science professor 1981-2010) announced he was stepping down as chair and founder of Partners in Productivity—a highly respected forum for professionals in the health care delivery sector— Professor Protti received more than the standard farewell.

His colleagues raised over $100,000 to establish the Denis and Pat Protti endowment fund for health information science. After a three-month fundraising blitz, contributions poured in.

The Protti Scholarship now has endowments that support one or more students each year.
