Christopher Mazza
A Doctor with a business background and an MBA. It's possible with Dr. Christopher Mazza, Emergentologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, and President and CEO of Ornge.
Dr. Mazza, who understands no one really likes change, oversaw the consolidation of five separate medical authorities to form the province-wide Ontario Air Ambulance Base Hospital Program. In July 2005, Dr. Mazza led the integration of all parts of the air ambulance system into the not-for-profit Ornge - today the largest and most active transport medicine service in North America.
Ornge is an organization of people who help people. But Ornge's philosophy of compassion, collaboration and innovation have been instrumental to its success. "It's not just about compassion to our clients, but to our colleagues at work each day. It's not just about collaboration with each other, but with the some 250 hospitals and or communities we serve. It's about innovation. Everyday we ask why, and do what is needed to make our service better."
After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1989, Dr. Mazza completed a subspecialty in Emergency Medicine in 1994 and became a staff physician and Trauma Team Leader at Sunnybrook.
In 1996 he was appointed Medical Director of Air Ambulance Programs at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre where he founded the first formal education program for Critical Care paramedics and the largest mobile patient simulator program in Canada.
From 1996 and 1999 he worked with the Ontario government to expand aero medical transport in the province and spearheaded a change in patient management that allowed for the direct airlift of trauma patients from anywhere in Ontario to trauma centres.
Dr. Mazza is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine who has advised governments on a variety of transport and emergency medicine-related matters, including critical care transformation, pediatric critical care transport and emergency room overcrowding. In April 2005, he was also appointed Strategic Lead for Provincial Transport Medicine within the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
Christopher Mazza is an engaging and witty speaker who shares real life stories of leadership, culture, overcoming challenges and becoming a leader in the field of transport medical services.
Client Testimonial:
