As we welcome our new leadership, we must also celebrate the visionaries
who created Sinai Health System� Joseph Mapa, who has been at Mount Sinai
Hospital and now Sinai Health System for almost 40 years, has been a trailblazer
and passionate voice for caregivers and patients� His role as CEO since 2001
has helped him to identify the gaps and lack of coordination in health care and
ultimately led him to partnering with another health-care pioneer, Marian Walsh,
who became Associate CEO and Chief Transformation Officer of Sinai Health
System� Marian's incredible accomplishments, including the transformation
of Riverdale Hospital into the award-winning Bridgepoint Active Healthcare
and being named one of Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women, has made her
contribution to the long-term strategy for Sinai Health System invaluable�
Sinai Health System is their legacy and we thank them for leading us on this
important journey that will shape a new era of connected care for Ontarians�
