Team Member Joins Medical Council
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has announced that Team Cornwall Member Manon Thompson has been appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council to serve as a public member on the College’s Council.
Ms. Thompson is a fund raising consultant for Carefor Health & Community Services in Cornwall. She is the former Executive Director of the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation, and led a successful fund raising initiative that exceeded its $10 million goal by raising over $12 million for the Our Hospital, Our Future campaign. In addition, she was the Executive Director for the Cornwall General Hospital Foundation that raised funds for the Dialysis unit along with much needed other equipment for the health centre and her community.
Ms. Thompson brings 20 years experience in both the health care and philanthropic sectors and has gained the respect of her professional peers. Along with her health care background, she is a member of the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy and the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is the self-regulating body for the province’s 23,000 doctors. It issues certificates of registration to doctors to allow them to practise medicine, monitors and maintains standards of practice through peer assessment and remediation, investigates complaints against doctors on behalf of the public, and disciplines doctors who have committed an act of professional misconduct or are incompetent.
Just more than half of the governing Council of the College is comprised of physicians, 16 elected by the profession and three appointed by universities. The other 13-15 Councillors are public members, appointed by the government. They bring a variety of experience and come from regions across Ontario.
