Shared on behalf of Dr. Bradley Jacobson, Chief of Staff
I am pleased to announce that Dr. Linda Bakovic has been re-appointed for another three year term as the Chief of Paediatrics at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
Dr. Bakovic has served as Chief of Paediatrics since 2022 and has been respected member of the Department of Paediatrics since 2014. Throughout her tenure, Dr. Bakovic has demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence in clinical practice, academic leadership, and the advancement of patient care.
During her first term, Dr. Bakovic has been proud to successfully advocate for increased FTE positions with the Ministry, helping to strengthen the team’s capacity. She played a key role in launching the Paediatric Emergency Transport Team, effectively managed the unexpected pediatric viral surges of 2022 and 2023, and led the successful effort to have our Hospital join the Paediatric Oncology Group of Ontario. These achievements reflect his dedication to improving patient outcomes, supporting staff, and enhancing the Hospital’s collaborative partnerships.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Bakovic on her re-appointment and thank her for her ongoing leadership and commitment to quality care.
