WHO’s who in health care
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital Academic Family Health Team and the CMCC for ongoing work enhancing primary care delivery in Toronto’s inner-city community, at an event at the World Health Assembly, held May 27 in Geneva, Switzerland. CMCC says it is proud to be part of the team recognized by the WHO as part of a comprehensive program, which includes specialists in income support, chiropractic, psychology and acupuncture services, a legal literacy program, and a committee dedicated to addressing the key determinants of health. CMCC interns joined the new and innovative health team in 2012, moving from a separate chiropractic clinic operating in the hospital since 2004 to function as a fully-integrated team, providing seamless patient care. Drs. Deborah Kopansky-Giles and Igor Steiman have been with the chiropractic team since 2004, dividing their time between treatment, program evaluation and research and education. They were joined last year by Dr. Chadwick Chung, the newest addition to CMCC’s team at St. Mike’s. Kopansky-Giles is a professor in the department of graduate education and research at CMCC and a clinician-scientist with St. Mike’s department of family and community medicine. “We select services and design care around our patients’ needs,” says Kopansky-Giles. “We organize our people to improve team cohesion and satisfaction and measure quality improvement.”
