Meet Jerilyn Huson

Jerilyn Huson, FNHSSM’s Manager of eHealth, comes from Garden Hill First Nation on her mom’s side and Trinidad on her dad’s side; a total island girl all around. While she’s been in eHealth since 2021, she’s been with FNHSSM for over 15 years, and has dedicated most of her career to working with First Nations organizations.

 

Her time in eHealth began as eHealth Project Lead, which was a powerful learning journey shaped by direct engagement with First Nations Health Directors and Jordan’s Principle leads as well as learning from the eHealth team and partner organizations. Now, as the Manager of eHealth, she oversees day‑to‑day operations while deepening her understanding of the First Nations digital health landscape in Manitoba and nationally through ongoing collaboration with First Nations, industry partners, and provincial and federal departments.

 

She and her husband Brett are both blessed to come from huge extended families, and they share two beautiful children. When she’s not shuttling their kids around, she loves to spend time outside chasing the northern lights, sitting by any body of water, or relaxing with a good book that involves spies, a murder mystery, or space travel.
