Michelle Morand is passionate about helping people and their families to access the best care available. That’s why, in addition to her role as Co-founder and Managing Partner of Cancer Treatment Options and Management, Michelle also plays a large role in CTOAM’s client care. With feedback from clients and the CTOAM team, Michelle also develops company protocols that allow our clients’ needs to be met quickly and effectively. She also regularly communicates with our clients and their families to ensure they're receiving the best cancer care possible.

Michelle has over 25 years experience as an entrepreneur and clinical counsellor: At the age of 29 she founded the CEDRIC Centre – a treatment facility for eating disorders and other addictions and related concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma and the establishment of healthy relationships. She has dedicated her professional career to helping others and pioneering innovative approaches to make their healing both rapid and lasting.

With Alex Rolland and the team at Cancer Treatment Options and Management, Michelle is putting her vast administrative, entrepreneurial and counselling skills to work for CTOAM clients and their doctors, so everyone gets rapid access to the information they need to make the most educated choices about their cancer care. Michelle believes that everyone who receives a cancer diagnosis deserves to have access to personalized genetic research – and to the best possible treatment for their cancer. And she is committed to making that goal a reality.

Clinic Manager
Lindsey Toane

Lindsey has dedicated her two-decade medical career to ensuring patients and their family members receive the very best medical care possible. She believes every patient should be treated as if they were one’s own family member.

In her previous role as clinic manager for a variety of different clinics, Lindsey’s work has been primarily focused on patient care and on creating structural protocols. Her underlying goal is for patients and their families to be well-informed and feel comfortable and confident when speaking with healthcare practitioners and medical professionals. She has helped several doctors open first-time practices, including setting up EMR systems and hiring and training medical staff.

The most rewarding part of her job now is watching patients and clients develop confidence in CTOAM’s team: being able to gain the trust of patients and their families is deeply meaningful for Lindsey. As a highly empathetic person, she strives to do whatever she can to make her clients’ lives a bit easier and their journey with cancer less stressful.

Lindsey was born and raised in Alberta and relishes spending all of her free time with her lovely ten-year-old daughter.
