Thanking our doctors on National Physicians’ Day

On this, National Physicians’ Day, we want to take a moment to celebrate, thank and recognize all of CHEO’s inspiring medical staff, as well as all the other physicians who we partner with in providing care to the children and youth we serve.

This past year was like no other as we saw unprecedented volumes and severity of illness in­ patients requiring our care and support. Our medical staff and partner physicians all stepped up and worked together in new ways, taking on jobs outside their specialty areas and usual roles — literally working 24/7 to make sure all the little ones who need us were cared for. It was truly all-hands-on-deck and was, indeed, inspiring.

While the challenges we faced in the past year are not always as intense, our medical staff take on extraordinary work each and every day to make the lives of children and youth better, and to help them live their best life.

For all of this, we are thankful and honoured to count our medical staff as part of Team CHEO.
