When we lose someone of significance, it prompts us to reflect on how that individual has shaped both the historical and contemporary landscapes. Particularly when that person is an esteemed elder and leader in our community. This month, we learned that former CHF CEO, Kate Moore, had passed away after a short illness. Kate was CEO of Consumers Health Forum from 1992 to 1999. Kate left a profound legacy on the status of health consumer influence, as a driving force, custodian, and advocate for CHF during its formative years, and a mentor to many people who came after her. Former CHF Chair, Janne Graham, put together this tribute, drawing on the experiences of those who were privileged to know Kate and work with her. |
