Steering Committee Members
Dr. Mimi Divinsky
Mimi Divinsky is a family physician in downtown Toronto, a Fellow of the
College of the Family Physicians of Canada and a lecturer in
the Dept. of Family and Community Medicine at the University of
Toronto. She was, until a recent illness, medical co-director of
the Sexual Assault Care Centre at Women's College Hospital. Dr. Divinsky
has been active in the Medical Reform Group since the group's inception,
and has played an important role on the Steering Committee since 1985.
Dr. Gordon Guyatt
Gordon Guyatt is a Professor in the Departments of Clinical Epidemiology
and Biostatistics and Medicine at McMaster University. He has
made important contributions to clinical and health care research,
recognized by over 350 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
His educational work includes seven years as Director of the Internal
Medicine Residency Program. His work in dissemination of evidence-based
decision-making was recognized by a McMaster University President's
Award for Excellence in Resource Design in 1996.
Dr. Guyatt was instrumental in founding the
Medical Reform Group in 1979 and has spent most of the subsequent
two decades as a spokesperson for the group. He has contributed
to the development of MRG policy, and in recent years has taken
a major role in packaging and dissemination of MRG approaches to
health issues.
Dr. Ted Haines
Ted Haines helps people and workplaces solve occupational health problems. While recognizing, imperfectly, the massive barriers posed particularly by powerful political and corporate forces, he doesn't see why Canadians shouldn't have a health care system that protects and cares for them, irrespective of means. That would be part of the society we want. He's a co-chair of the Hamilton Health Coalition and on the administrative committee of the Ontario Health Coalition. "If the artist sees nothing within him, then he should also refrain from painting what he sees before him."
