We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Brian Feagan. Dr. Feagan was a long-standing CAG member and an influential leader in IBD research and care. His contributions to gastroenterology have left a lasting imprint on our community and on patients across Canada and beyond. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and all who were fortunate to learn from and work alongside him. His legacy will continue to shape Canadian gastroenterology for years to come.

Patients living with IBD shouldn’t have to “fail” outdated treatments before receiving the therapies that actually work for them. CAG stands with Crohn's and Colitis Canada in calling for an end to “fail first” policies that delay appropriate, evidence-based care. Join us in taking action:

Tell your government to end “fail first” policies in IBD treatment. Many patients must try ineffective drugs before getting access to better therapies. Join the campaign for faster care now.
