This year, the Pediatric Chairs of Canada (PCC) provided a unique opportunity to honour those who have responded in a heroic way to the COVID-19 pandemic, including individuals and teams that are part of the healthcare workforce. As part of its 2020 Annual Awards Celebration, held virtually, PCC honoured leaders from across the country.
These heroes have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to patient safety amidst the COVID-19 crisis. Healthcare workers and facility leadership are the fiber of the Canadian healthcare system, which has never been more evident than now. The pandemic reminds us all how much we depend on their courage and caring at our most vulnerable moments.
Congratulations to Dr. Kirk Leifso (School of Medicine) for being awarded the 2020 COVID Leadership Award by the Paediatrics Chairs of Canada.
