Recipients of the Marian Walsh Emerging Leader Award

Last week, Sinai Health announced the recipients of the Marian Walsh Emerging Leader Award. These leaders were recognized for demonstrating their commitment to life-long learning. This award was created to honour Marian Walsh, the previous President and CEO of Bridgepoint Active Healthcare, after her retirement in 2016.

The award was presented to individuals who demonstrate leadership in their roles, inspire peers to adopt change initiatives, and display strong self-awareness while collaborating with others. Applicants included regular full time or part time employees located at the Bridgepoint campus, who are pursuing or enrolled in a recognized leadership or professional development program.

Congratulations to our recipients! Special thanks to Marian Walsh for providing this opportunity to our Bridgepoint emerging leaders.
