 Dr. Jayna Holroyd-Leduc, Department Head, Department of Medicine

With the days getting longer and the weather getting warmer, spring brings opportunity for both reflection and growth. As a community of colleagues, we have continued to deliver high-quality patient-centered care during a time of turbulence and change within our healthcare system. Thank you for your ongoing contributions towards realizing both the DOM and CSM strategic priorities – your endeavours are noticed and appreciated.

I encourage you to participate in our upcoming DOM Day at the zoo on May 24; it is a great opportunity to learn more about what is going on within the department and to catch up with colleagues. The Office of the Vice Chair of Research is also holding a DOM Research Event on May 26, which promises to be a great opportunity to network with researchers in the department and learn about supports available from the CSM research institutes. More information about these two DOM events, including how to register, is within the Spring Newsletter.

Our collective achievements are a testament to the skill, perseverance, and teamwork that define our department. Whether in patient care, research, teaching, or administrative support, each of you contribute significantly to our shared mission of advancing medical knowledge and improving patient outcomes. It is because of your tireless efforts that we continue to make meaningful strides forward despite the ever-changing healthcare landscape in the province. Your dedication and resilience are truly inspiring.

This February, we will once again launch the Healthy Hearts Challenge, a fun tradition that not only promotes physical and mental health but also strengthens our sense of community and teamwork. I encourage everyone to participate, as it’s a wonderful opportunity to focus on our well-being while connecting with colleagues. 

As we navigate the months ahead, I encourage you to remember the power of small actions. Every interaction with a patient, every thoughtful collaboration with a colleague, every expression of appreciation, and every effort to improve a process contributes to the excellence we strive for. These seemingly small steps add up to transformative progress, both for our Department and the patients we serve.

Together, I am confident we can rise to any challenge and continue to make a meaningful impact in 2025. Here’s to a year of growth, collaboration, and outstanding care!
