Donor Story:
Established in 1994, The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame is a national charitable organization that fosters future generations of health professionals through the celebration of our country’s rich medical history, student scholarship and awards programs, and the delivery of both local and nationwide education programs for youth. Each year, up to six individuals are recognized for their extraordinary contribution to improving the health of Canadians and people world-wide. The stories of the laureates are showcased on their website (www.cdnmedhall.org) and in their portrait gallery, exhibit hall and media theatre, located in downtown London, ON.
Laureates of The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame cite qualities such as perseverance, collaboration and an entrepreneurial spirit as contributors to their success as national and world health leaders. Supported by their donors, The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame Award seeks to recognize medical students who demonstrate these qualities and show outstanding potential as future leaders and innovators of health care in Canada.
