"With Canada’s healthcare system facing unprecedented challenges and change, From Vision to Vitality should be required reading for all those who are working to improve it.

A globally recognized leader, Dr. Rosenberg is not just navigating the future of healthcare; he is creating it. His focus on people and excellence should be a blueprint for all future—and current—healthcare leaders in Canada.

This book is about value-based healthcare system transformation, and the innovative thinking, models, and tools needed to achieve it, but it is about so much more than that. This book is a masterclass in responsible and transformative leadership; strategic risk-taking; the power of innovation and future-forward thinking; excellence as both a philosophy and practice; accountability, integrity, and bold decision-making; the need for curiosity and courage in leadership; a leader’s responsibility to both learn and teach; and—at its very heart—why doing the right thing can be the most powerful driver of change.

These lessons are not just for healthcare leaders; they are for anyone striving to be a transformational leader in any field, from someone who has spent a career demonstrating what is possible when leaders inspire, rather than just empower, people and who has shown us that when you do, you can change a hospital, a community, a health system, and people’s lives forever."

"Dr. Rosenberg’s book, From Vision to Vitality, translates theory into action through a framework of observation and innovation that relies on digital technologies and AI. With the focus on the patient at the center of and throughout his leadership, he has united a disparate group of ten healthcare institutions and a network of community clinics into an integrated university network of healthcare and social services that has been recognized for its leadership in and delivery of value-based healthcare.

Dr. Rosenberg has been recognized by Newsweek as one of the twenty-five leading hospital CEOs globally, and this book describes his journey—it’s a must-read for all who wish to be informed on the future transformative direction necessary for the delivery of value healthcare."

"Most leaders of complex public institutions, such as university hospitals, operate in constant firefighting mode, with little space left for bold, structural innovation. In this book, Dr. Rosenberg breaks that pattern and offers clear, experience-based, and inspiring insights for anyone looking to lead at the intersection of complexity and transformation."
— Félix-Antoine Joli-Coeur
President and Founder, Volume10

"Dr. Rosenberg is one of those rare leaders whose courage and clarity lift others into their own purpose. I first met him while leading Hacking Health, a global movement that brings together patients, clinicians, and innovators to cocreate solutions to frontline healthcare challenges. Introduced by his astute director of HR, I immediately recognized a like mind—someone visionary enough to see the value of doing things differently and bold enough to make space for it.

What makes Dr. Rosenberg extraordinary is not just what he built but how he led—with integrity, moral conviction, and an unwavering belief that systems exist to serve people. In him, I found not just an ally but a catalyst. He gave me the opportunity to create the first chief innovation officer role in Quebec’s healthcare system and to build OROT, Canada’s first hospital-embedded connected health innovation hub.

From Vision to Vitality distills the essence of his leadership: values-driven, fearless, and deeply human. It’s a guide and a gift for anyone called to lead with purpose in complex systems.
