Liver Nurse News - December 2025
Thank you!
On behalf of CAHN’s Executive Team, I want to thank everyone for your participation in the CAHN community over the past year. Because of your engagement, we have been able to offer meaningful collaboration and valuable educational opportunities to our members.
As we look ahead to the new year, I am excited to share our new strategic plan, which will guide our work and activities moving forward. We would love to continue engaging with you as we implement this plan over the next three years, and if you are interested in being involved in one of our subcommittees, please let us know.
I wish everyone an enjoyable holiday season—whatever you celebrate, I think we can all agree this is a time to appreciate friends, family, and much-deserved rest. I look forward to another year of working together to strengthen our community and advance our shared goals for advancing liver health and education.
Lindsay Myles,
President of CAHN

Join the Team
CAHN is run by members for members. Education and patient care are our top priorities. To support this, CAHN relies on engaged volunteers to keep the good work going.
This year, CAHN is launching its new Strategic Plan and developing work plans aligned with its key pillars. We invite members to review the Strategic Plan and consider how your skills and interests might align with CAHN’s goals.
Joining CAHN’s executive team, whether as a board member, committee chair, or committee member, is a rewarding and fun way to contribute. We are looking for people who can dedicate about two hours per week to help advance CAHN’s initiatives. All experience levels are welcome, and we value having a diverse team from across the country to help ensure educational gaps are bridged.
We are currently seeking additional board members, event planning chairs, and an awards and membership chair to join the team in 2026.
If you are interested, please indicate this on the AGM registration form or send your questions to admin@cahn.ca.
