In honour of World Cancer Day Dr. Christiaan Stevens (left), medical director, Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre, and Dr. Bryn Pressnail, oncologist, traded in their stethoscopes for clippers as they helped shave Jordan Rossman’s head on Thursday. Rossman had his head shaved at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) to bring awareness to a disease that took his father, Michael Rossman, and to kick off his fundraiser for RVH’s Hearts & Minds campaign.
Hearts & Minds is an initiative to raise $25 million for five priority areas – advanced cardiac care, child and youth mental health, women’s cancer services, equipment, teaching and research. The successful campaign has already surpassed the halfway mark.

It is with great pleasure that I share wonderful news about some of our dedicated and caring physicians at RVH.
Drs. Anwar Parbtani, Brent Elsey and Kerstin Mossman were recognized by the Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) with the Award of Excellence 2015. The awards were presented during a special ceremony held last night in Toronto to coincide with Family Doctor Week (Nov. 9-14).
The Award of Excellence recognizes outstanding contributions to family medicine. And out of the more than 10,500 family physicians registered with OCFP, we are so pleased to see three RVH physicians recognized. It speaks highly to the dedication and commitment our physicians have to delivering the best possible patient care.
I’m also pleased to announce that Dr. Andre Bédard and Dr. Stephen Onlock received the annual RVH Teaching Physician Awards (2014-15) for their unwavering dedication to the Family Medicine Teaching Unit (FMTU) program, our partnership with the University of Toronto providing family medicine residents with their final two years of training.
The success of the FMTU, which is one of the most sought after residencies in the country, can be attributed directly to the devoted faculty members who, in addition to their existing duties, work hard to ensure these residents are balanced and knowledgeable family doctors when they begin practicing upon completion of the program.
Dr. Stephen Onlock
The Rural Ontario Medical Program (ROMP) is pleased to announce that the ROMP Medical Student Preceptor of the Year 2015 was recently presented to Dr. Stephen Onlock. Dr. Onlock is an Emergency Physician working in Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre’s Emergency Department.
In presenting the award, Dr. Peter Wells, ROMP Executive Director, said : One learner wrote of their rotation that, “Dr. Onlock is an excellent clinician and an enthusiastic teacher. He went out of his way to ensure that I had a great learning experience, helped me plan my learning strategy and gave me excellent advice for my future development.”
ROMP has been funding medical students and residents in Ontario arrange core and elective medical rotations since 1988. Their mission is to deliver quality, comprehensive rural and regional health professional education by the engagement of Ontario communities.
