Re:                   Department of Family Medicine Future 50 Fund

It has been an honor to serve as Head of the Department of Family Medicine for the last 9 years. I have had the opportunity of working along-side many of you, sometimes in particularly challenging circumstances, such as the recent COVID-19 Pandemic. I am proud of the way our Family Medicine community rose to the challenge, playing a vital role across all layers of the healthcare system.

As we prepare to celebrate the Department of Family Medicine's 50th anniversary, let us renew our commitment to deliver professional and compassionate care to Manitobans. Help us in developing the next generation of family physicians, teachers, researchers, leaders and innovators that will help shape healthcare in our province.
