Dr. Morris Freedman was officially invested into the Order of Ontario, the province's highest civilian honour, during a ceremony in Toronto on June 1.

Dr. Freedman is Head of the Division of Neurology and a Senior Scientist at Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute, and Medical Director of the Pamela and Paul Austin Centre for Neurology and Behavioural Support. His pioneering work in cognitive assessment and dementia research has helped shape the diagnosis and care of Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia in Ontario and around the world.

Dr. Freedman was among 30 exceptional Ontarians formally recognized by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario for their outstanding contributions to the province and country.

Congratulations to Dr. Freedman on this well-deserved honour.

May is Speech and Hearing Month, and today we’re featuring Jen Raman, Speech-Language Pathologist in the Transitional Care Unit at Baycrest.

Speech and Hearing Month is a reminder of how important communication is to overall well-being. In her role, Jen helps older adults navigate communication and swallowing challenges during a vulnerable and difficult time in their lives. “My role allows me to support patients through challenges that impact some of the most basic and meaningful parts of daily life: communication and eating. I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of my work. Each patient presents unique challenges that keep the day engaging and rewarding.”

Thank you, Jen, for helping patients work toward their goals with practical strategies and guidance.
