Dr. Ingram earned her medical degree from Queen’s University and is a specialist in Internal and Geriatric Medicine, practicing in Peterborough, Ontario. She is the Founder, Medical Director and Qualified Investigator at the Kawartha Centre – Redefining Healthy Aging, a community-based geriatric clinic and clinical research site.

Dr. Ingram has been instrumental in laying the foundation for community and hospital-based geriatric programs in Central East Ontario, which continue to evolve with well-formed partnerships and innovative thinking. Her efforts as Divison Lead for Geriatric Medicine at Peterborough Regional Health Centre have attracted four geriatric medicine physicians to the area, greatly enhancing the availability of geriatric and dementia care clinical services. In January 2017 Jenny was appointed Seniors Physician Lead for the Central East LHIN, where she is able to inform dementia and senior care policy and planning at the provincial level.

She has been invited to participate as an Expert Advisory Panel Member for Health Quality Ontario on the topics related to dementia and is one of three Ontario co-investigators with the Canadian Team for Healthcare Services/System Improvement in Dementia Care from the Department of Family Medicine at McGill University. This team is part of the national Canadian Consortium for Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) and is assessing dementia care practices implemented in primary health care for persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders across three provinces over multiple years.
