Honouring Dr. Ronald Gottesman

Honouring Dr. Ronald Gottesman

Dr. Ronald Gottesman was a friend, mentor and colleague to many at The Children’s. His loss is felt by us all.

Dr. Gottesman was a medical hero who played a leadership role in founding the speciality of critical care in Canada. Admired by his patients and colleagues, he leaves a profound legacy.

His family wishes to honour him through the Dr. Ronald Gottesman Fund for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Funds raised will benefit critically ill children treated in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and their families, honouring Dr. Gottesman’s legacy.

«Ron Gottesman's legacy is a continuous inspiration. His level of empathy and intellect are aspirational goals for anyone. Eric, Daniel and Arielle perpetuate Ron's best qualities to anyone in the world who didn't have the fortune of knowing him well. It's a difficult role but they manage it admirably. May his memory always be a blessing. Anita's strength during this trying time is so needed yet so incredibly praiseworthy. May the whole family go from strength to strength.»
