A couple of years ago I connected with Anne McGuire, an assistant professor in the Equity Studies Program at the University of Toronto, after she co-wrote a critique of the Hospital for Sick Children's SickKids VS ad from a disability perspective.
We are excited to announce that Iveta Lewis, manager of the health sciences library and archives at Holland Bloorview, has been named the recipient of the 2023 Joan Leishman Award of Merit for Excellence in Health Science Information.
Later this year, Holland Bloorview will rename its reception hall the “Janis Rotman Reception Hall” in honour of her long-time support of the hospital that extends well over a decade.
To many staff, volunteers, and families, she’ll always be “Aunty Janis.”
