Congratulations to Alex Muccilli recipient of the 2025 Complete Physician Award! This award is sponsored by the hospital's Board of Directors and is considered one of the most prestigious awards presented during the Medical Education Achievement Day which takes place on June 6th, 2025, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m in the Li Ka Shing.

The purpose of the award is to recognize one physician at St. Michael’s Hospital who best exemplifies an ongoing commitment to and role modeling of the CanMEDS Roles or the Four Principles of Family Practice.

Congrats again Alex!


 

MAP’s signature Navigator Program pairs hospital patients who are homeless with an outreach counsellor—a “Navigator.” The Navigator gets to know the patient and connects them with the health and social support they need to break cycles of homelessness and poor health, and to move forward in securing housing that works for them.

With long-term commitment and support from Staples Canada and Even the Odds, MAP has expanded the Navigator program from St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. To date, the innovative program has provided outreach support to more than a thousand people experiencing homelessness in Toronto and Vancouver, and will launch at CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal) in Montréal later this year.

Watch as Dr. Stephen Hwang joins CTV Your Morning and Anne-Marie Mediwake to talk about this groundbreaking program. “We are working to establish this program in hospitals across Canada,” said Dr. Hwang. “There is a need in every city where there are people experiencing homelessness.”
