Presenter Bio:

Jann Houston, RN, MScN, CCHN (C), PhD (C) (pronouns She/Her)

Board Chair, Street Health and Instructor, Mohawk College

Jann is a registered nurse in Ontario, and current chair of the board of directors at Street

Health, a community agency that aims to improve the health and well-being of people

experiencing homelessness through low barrier and equitable care, advocacy and education.

She is also an instructor in the public health nursing certificate program at Mohawk College and a PhD candidate at OISE University of Toronto. Prior to this Jann had a 34-year career at

Toronto Public Health.

Jann holds BScN and MScN degrees from the University of Toronto, a Diploma in Public

Administration from the University of Western Ontario and is CNA certified in community

health nursing. Her passion for social justice, harm reduction and health equity started during the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s and continued throughout her career at Toronto Public Health, in particular during the escalating toxic drug crisis. As a public health nursing leader, her proudest career moment was working with local community partners and municipal politicians to establish supervised injection services in Toronto.

Jann is also committed to continuous learning and has been able to combine her passions

though her research as a PhD candidate, where she is trying to understand how there can be a more humane, holistic and sustainable response to the drug crisis.

In her spare time Jann loves to garden, ski, cycle and spend time with her Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide breeder, Walter, who she fostered as a puppy. She is also a wife, daughter and mother to two young men who have inherited her passion for social justice.
