They will be joined by Osler leaders including Pardeep Singh Gill, First Vice Chair and Treasurer, William Osler Health System’s Board of Directors; Tony Raso, Vice President, Clinical Services; Cathy Renaud, Vice President, Facilities Operations and Capital Development; Tiziana Rivera, Executive Vice President, Quality, Research and Chief Nursing Executive; Mary Jane McNally, Chief Patient Experience Officer; and Ken Mayhew, President and CEO, William Osler Health System Foundation. Special guest, Dr. Teresa Chan, Founding Dean (School of Medicine) and Vice-President (Medical Affairs), Toronto Metropolitan University, will also join to provide an update on the new School of Medicine in Brampton, of which Osler is the primary clinical partner.

“Our popular Community Telephone Town Halls are a valuable opportunity to connect with thousands of residents of Brampton, Etobicoke and surrounding areas,” said Dr. Frank Martino. “As Osler continues its exciting transformational journey, continuous dialogue with our community is vital to shaping our local hospital system. I encourage our community members to join the conversation and look forward to hearing insights and ideas from our community around our programs, services and initiatives.”

Osler’s Telephone Town Halls provide valuable updates and are a wonderful opportunity for residents to ask questions and share their feedback with the hospital directly.”
