Please join us congratulating Dr. Daniel Vigo!
In 2024, Dr. Vigo, who is a member of the ATM, was appointed BC’s first ever Chief Scientific Advisor for Psychiatry, Toxic Drugs and Concurrent Disorders. He has now been named in the Vancouver Magazine’s 2025 Power 50 List, for taking action against an epidemic.
A spot on this select list is warranted for Dr. Vigo, who is tackling the lack of adequate medical care for those with complex needs, such as those with mental illness concurrent to or related to serious substance use disorders. His approach centres around evidence-based practices, collaboration with health authorities, and new care facilities. The facilities, as announced by Premier David Eby and Dr. Vigo, will be involuntary and highly secure, to provide long-term, dignified care to those under the B.C. Mental Health Act.
