Dear Residents,
What an amazing time to be a resident physician or intern! The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly one of the most incredibly difficult times to be pursuing your training—it’s an overwhelming period in your careers at the best of times, and the circumstances of the past two years have no doubt made it exponentially more challenging.
I want you to know that we recognize you are a crucial part of our system and our team. Not only do you play an important role in caring for our patients, clients and residents, but you represent the future of health care, whose insights and perspectives are essential to ensuring we continue to provide the safest and highest quality care possible for those we serve. You bring new ideas and energy into the workplace that we greatly appreciate.
On behalf of the WRHA, I would like to thank you for your extraordinary work and sacrifice. I understand that you may not always see it or feel it, but your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are all appreciative of your commitment and dedication to the well-being of our community. We are in this together with you, and we will continue to do everything we can to support you, advocate for you and stand with you.
I’m grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge the contributions that you make to the ongoing fight against COVID-19, and to the health care system as a whole. Thank you again for all you’ve done and continue to do.
Mike Nader
President & Chief Executive Officer
