Upcoming Events

Thursday, January 16: 1 - 2 pm - My farewell to Emergency Medicine: A journey with Dr. Sunil Mangal

After practicing emergency medicine for over 20 years at St. Paul’s Hospital, Dr. Sunil Mangal suffered a large stroke, leaving him unable to walk and with left-sided neglect. In this inspirational lecture, he describes the impact the stroke had on his career, identity, finances, family, and friends.

The session will help you prepare your own plans for a life-altering illness and gain an appreciation for wellness and mental self-care in building resilience.
