a name synonymous with Hotel Dieu Shaver and Hotel Dieu Shaver Foundation
A former patient, Bob is one of the few that can still share his first-hand experience with Dr. Cecil Shaver, part of Hotel Dieu Shaver’s namesake. Back in 1966, he spent three weeks under the care of Dr. Shaver. So impressed with how Dr. Shaver cared for him, he was determined to give back.
Starting as a volunteer and eventually becoming Executive Director of Hotel Dieu Shaver Hospital Foundation from 1994-2010, Bob is an inseparable part of the hospital's history. He has been here through all the changes, from a tuberculosis hospital to a rehabilitation centre to the merge of Ontario Street’s Hotel Dieu and Shaver Hospital in 2005.
Though retired for many years, Bob continues to volunteer with Hotel Dieu Shaver’s Auxiliary, and is still a member of Hotel Dieu Shaver Foundation’s Board of Directors.
