As he embarks on his new role, Dr. Rob Gratton is keenly aware of the challenges facing our health care system
When Dr. Rob Gratton talks about Ontario’s health care system and the role of medical regulation within it, one word keeps coming up: trust. It’s a term that sits at the very heart of CPSO’s vision — trusted doctors providing great care. However, as he embarks on his term as CPSO Council President for 2023, Dr. Gratton is keenly aware of the challenges facing our health system, which is stretched to its limits.
Dr. Gratton grew up in a small Ontario community on Lake Huron. His father was a dentist, the sole practitioner in the town. He maintained a busy practice but was also the sort who would jump out of bed at night, head to the office, turn on the lights and provide emergency care. “I had a good sense from him of what it means to be truly embedded into the fabric of a community,” Dr. Gratton says. “He also made a transition in his career to going back to school and earning a teaching degree, and he taught dental students at Western University for many years. That duality — working in the profession, but also guiding future generations — made a real impression on me. It reinforced the importance of education and passing on your knowledge to the next generation of learners.” Click on the button below for more information about Dr. Gratton and his new role.
Recruiting some of the best and brightest researchers has been an important focus for local philanthropists
Advancements in research have always been important for the late Dr. Paul Harding, who is known in the medical community as the ‘father’ of neonatal research in Canada. He, and his late wife, Mrs. Mary Harding are now being recognized with a 2022 Lawson Community Partner of the Year Award, nominated by the Children’s Health Foundation.
“My dad lived and breathed research,” shares Tom Harding, Paul’s son. “He wanted to see improvements being made and ensure they were clinically and academically sound.”
Through his continued passion for research, Paul and his wife Mary helped create the Whaley and Harding Research Fellowship, which provides two years of support for an MD or PhD Fellow conducting research that will enhance the health of pregnant mothers, children and infants.
