CEO Patrick Wilder thanked staff for their dedication and hard work! One of the highlights of the night was when Patrick and Dr. Robert Weir, CMO, presented Dr. Syed Kamal Mustafa, Psychiatrist, and his brother, Dr. Syed Jamal Mustafa, with Lifetime Achievement Awards. Both doctors have worked for Fairfax as Psychiatrists for over 25 years. In addition, Dr. Kamal's son and Dr. Jamal Mustafa's daughter have both worked for Fairfax.
