MEDICAL MARVELS

Five physicians doing inspiring work

PAUL CAULFORD Medical director, Canadian Centre for Refugee and Immigrant Health Care

Caulford has provided care to uninsured patients for nearly three decades. His organization has grown to include 25 volunteer doctors, 10 dentists, four nurse practitioners, 12 nurses and various others.

BARBARA YAFFE Associate chief medical officer of health, Ontario

As the right hand of David Williams, Yaffe has become a familiar face throughout the pandemic, and an integral part of the team that has overseen most of the Covid guidelines for business and customers.

PATRICIA O’CAMPO & JANET SMYLIE Baby Bundle Project

O’Campo and Smylie, both professors at U of T, launched their initiative last spring. It provides culturally sensitive holistic support to Indigenous mothers during pregnancy and birth, and for the six months following.

BRETT BELCHETZ, CEO, Maple

If the future of medicine is digital, what better person to lead the revolution than a physician (still practising) who’s a former McKinsey consultant. Loblaw Co. saw enough promise in Belchetz and his virtual medicine app to hand over $75 million for a minority stake.
