Elgin Lim

Having spent over 16 years in the HIV community health sector, Elgin happily joined the PHA Canada family in 2021 as Manager, Operations & Development. With ample experience working in member-driven organizations, he has been a strong advocate of patient-centred care and program delivery while also having helped shape public health policy and clinical practices in HIV care and support.

Elgin's foray into the HIV sector began as Communications Director at the YouthCO AIDS Society in 2003. He expanded his work to bridging clinical care with community support services at Positive Living BC (previously known as BC Persons with AIDS Society). In 2006, Positive Living BC invited Elgin to become Director of Prevention. He then continued his career with the organization, becoming Director of Health Promotion, Director of Programs and Services, and, ultimately, Executive Director. During his tenure, his accomplishments included the creation of a peer navigation program recognized as a Leading Practice by Accreditations Canada, a community dental clinic recognized with the Merit Award by the Canadian Association of Public Health Dentistry, and a successful collaboration with the University of British Columbia to provide cultural competency and HIV sensitivity education for senior social work students.

Following a well-deserved sabbatical during the COVID-19 pandemic, Elgin launched into the next chapter of his career with PHA Canada. He hopes to bring his knowledge and experience in community health and nonprofit organizational development to help those living with PH and their families.
