*************************
CFUW Orillia is delighted to announce Dr. Rose Zacharias as its January meeting speaker. The event will occur on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. at Creative Nomad Studios.
“We are so pleased to welcome a Past President of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) as our speaker this month,” said Heather Lewis, president of CFUW Orillia. “The OMA represents all 44,000 physicians in Ontario, and her role was to meet with members across the province and advocate for physician issues with the Ontario government.”
To highlight what was most meaningful in her physician advocacy role, Dr. Zacharias speaks genuinely about “loving Ontario’s doctors” and wants to see them thrive in their work - finding joy in their own lives, while they care for patients. Dr. Zacharias is the host of the podcast Intersection and is known as a conversation catalyst, bringing depth and curiosity to conversations from the boardroom to the kitchen table.
Dr. Zacharias is a family physician with a hospital-based practice. For the last twenty years, she has practiced both as an emergency room physician, as well as a surgical assistant and hospitalist, primarily at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital. She is currently working at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health.
CFUW Orillia offers amazing social connections, lifelong learning opportunities, a commitment to advocacy, new friendships, and is dedicated to promoting education. With a membership of over 110 women, it is a dynamic organization that welcomes all women who share our core beliefs of education, advocacy, social justice, and equality.
