Chair in Emergency Medicine Addiction and Mental Health at Sinai Health

Thank you for coming to my page. 

I’m so grateful to be celebrating 30 years of sobriety on August 31st, 2021. It seems like yesterday that I got on the plane to go to the Betty Ford Centre. It was August 31st, 1991. As most of you know, I am an alcoholic who lives with a mental disorder

I am striving to raise $3 million in support of Sinai Health to endow what will be a first-of-its-kind Canadian Research Chair in Emergency Medicine Addiction and Mental Health. To be held by a dynamic clinician-researcher in the field of emergency addiction and mental health care, the Chair will spearhead studies to identify, understand and remedy shortcomings in emergency care that are impacting the health of people with mental illness and addiction.

I hope you will support my fundraising for this tremendously important cause. All donations are deeply appreciated, please reach out to me directly if you would like to learn more.
