Wency Leung is a Toronto-based health journalist. She writes about various aspects of health, from COVID-19 to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, with a focus on prevention, empathy and equity.
Before joining The Globe in 2010, Wency reported for The Prague Post, The Vancouver Sun, The Cambodia Daily and Reuters.
I view journalism as a way to understand one another, and ourselves. When someone entrusts you with their story, it's an enormous responsibility. Reporting what you find – as honestly, accurately and fairly as you can – is a small act of resistance against the status quo, and an expression of desire that things can change for the better.
