Monthly feature: Transplant Team, 2022 Mission Legacy Award winners
Late November we celebrated the 2022 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 the Transplant Team.
The transplant team is an exceptional multi-disciplinary group who have worked tirelessly advocating for continued access to kidney transplant during the pandemic. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on patients with renal disease. To safeguard their well being the team called and wrote to 1500 post transplant patients to ensure they had access to vaccines, available therapies and counselling. Their level of commitment and compassion is worthy of this recognition. |
In 2022, the following groups / individuals were awarded:
Julia Baxter, Dr. Azim Gangji, Brenda Helpard, Dr. Anthony Kerigan, Monoclonal Antibody Clinic Team, Physician Team of Resident (Drs. Clara Lu, Achieng Tago, Tobi Olaiya and Curtis Sobchak), Cathy Pracsovics, Claudia Rodrigues, Frances Szypula, Transplant Team, Stephanie Trowbridge and William J. Walker.
A sincere thank you to each of the past and present award recipients, their hard work and dedication to our organization and the patients we serve is truly appreciated by our staff, patients and families.
The 2023 Mission Legacy Awards will be held on Wednesday November 15th, 2023 at 2pm in the Miller Ampitheatre at the Charlton Campus.
