Board Chair

Cindy Forbes, MD CCFP FCFP

As a passionate advocate for the profession and patients, Dr. Forbes understands the importance of celebrating the remarkable accomplishments of colleagues who have made great contributions to improve the health and lives of patients.  As past-president of the CMA, the celebration of its 150th Anniversary served as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the history of the medical profession while also focusing on the future.  In addition, Dr. Forbes values the ability to serve the CMHF, an organization that focuses on providing opportunities and inspiration for future generations. This area has been a personal interest of hers and she believes there are many opportunities to engage medical students and young colleagues through the work of CMHF.
