Mark Rochon Leadership Award
Introducing The Mark Rochon Leadership Award in Rehabilitation
The Mark Rochon Leadership Award in Rehabilitation Sciences was established in recognition and celebration of Mark Rochon, Toronto Rehab’s former CEO. A highly respected and influential health care leader, Mr. Rochon was a driving force in the evolution of Toronto Rehab into one of the world’s most prominent health science centres focused on rehabilitation. His passion for, and his belief in, research and the development of the next generation of leaders is the impetus for this important and prestigious award.
