❤️ This Valentine’s Day, Cliff Lloyd is visiting RVH with a heart full 🫀 of gratitude.

Just months ago, Cliff suffered a major heart attack. Within minutes of arriving in our Emergency Department, teams sprang into action, quickly diagnosing the problem and restoring blood flow to his heart in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab.

“The care I received was exceptional,” said Cliff. “The skill, speed and teamwork gave me confidence I was in the very best hands. My family gave me strength, and RVH gave me a second chance.”

Now, during Heart Month, Cliff is returning to thank the team who helped him get back to what matters most — being a husband and father.

When every minute counts, expert care close to home makes all the difference.

🌟 Celebrating Resident Doctors Appreciation Week 🌟

This week, we’re proud to recognize the exceptional residents in our Enhanced Skills Program in Emergency Medicine — a one‑year University of Toronto certification that builds on two years of Family Medicine training to prepare physicians to deliver advanced, comprehensive care in emergency departments.

Dr. Amanda Chapman and Dr. Brittany Best are the two residents in RVH’s inaugural delivery of the program which offers intense, hands‑on experience through supervised shifts in general and paediatric emergency medicine, trauma care, and ED point‑of‑care ultrasound, along with dedicated rotations in orthopaedics, plastics, intensive care, cardiac care and anaesthesia.

“RVH’s program was my top choice, and I would 100% recommend it,” said Dr. Chapman. “As a resident you get a great deal of one‑on‑one attention and as many opportunities as possible. You are afforded a lot of appropriate independence which trains you to be comfortable and confident from day one.”

With strong regional partnerships, learners also gain invaluable exposure at Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) in Midland and Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH), further strengthening their clinical skills and community connections.

Dr. Best is especially appreciative of the response from RVH physicians and educators. “Everyone is very receptive to feedback. If we think of ways to improve the program, it’s acted on right away. I definitely feel well supported.”

Both physicians will be staying on with RVH after completion of the program, with Dr. Chapman splitting her time with GBGH and Dr. Best with CGMH. RVH is excited to see the program both strengthening local emergency care and supporting physician recruitment right here in our region.

Research Spotlight - Small changes can make a meaningful difference in cancer care.

New research from RVH, published in the British Journal of Radiology, explores how treatment preparation can improve prostate cancer radiation therapy. Led by Dr. Muoi Tran and Dr. Adam Gladwish, the study shows how practical, evidence-informed adjustments can support improved treatment delivery while maintaining safety and precision.

This work reflects RVH’s commitment to patient-focused research that strengthens care today and helps shape the future of cancer treatment.
