Monthly feature: Amanda Weatherston and Eric Bellmer 2021 Mission Legacy Award winners
Late November we celebrated the 2021 Mission Legacy Award ceremony at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. The Mission Legacy Award recognizes key individuals and departments / teams who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to contribute to the legacy and mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, St. Joseph's Health System, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and its Foundation.
Each month we will feature a few of the award recipients to share a bit more about how they have made meaningful contributions throughout their time with our health care organization.
This month we feature Amanda Weatherston and Eric Bellmer.
Amanda Weatherston: Amanda thrives on discovery and is eager to take on new opportunities that support the mission of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton no matter how challenging. She is recognized by her colleagues as a leader committed to putting patients and their families first. Amanda has demonstrated bravery, innovation, collaboration and commitment to those we serve in our hospital and community.
Eric Bellmer: Eric is a visionary with a goal of environmental responsibility and a commitment to see St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton succeed. He conceptualized, organized and brought to fruition a recycling program that has diverted thousands of pounds of waste from area landfills. The proceeds of his endeavors directly benefit patients in the dialysis program, and make him worthy of this recognition.
In 2021, the following fourteen groups / individuals were awarded:
CTU Central, Congregate Settings Covid-19 Response Team, MHAP Mobile Clinic, Dr. Peter Cook, Dr. Zain Chagla, Dee Frisina, Dr. Anne Boyle, Lily Waugh, Amanda Weatherston, Eric Bellmer, Heather Saunders, Dr. David Russell, Demetree Kallergis, Mr. Joseph Mancinelli, Mr. Adriaan Konstanje, Dr. Mark Crowther, Carola Brunner, Dr. Zain Chagla & Dr. Marek Smieja (Physician Team), and Laura Garrick.
