Inductees
Dr. Sheela Basrur, a longtime resident of Scarborough, was Toronto's first medical officer of health who became the face of public health during the SARS outbreak of 2003. Dr. Basrur died June 2 of this year after a two-year long battle with a rare form of cancer. Dr. Basrur, had stepped down from the position of Ontario's medical officer of health just 18 months earlier, to aggressively fight the cancer. She was widely regarded as the province's most respected and well-known public health official - a profile that former colleagues and friends say was earned in the trenches of post-amalgamation Toronto.
There, Dr. Basrur presided over the amalgamation of six public health units and then took on key and often controversial new public health programs: a ban on smoking in bars and restaurants, a ban on cosmetic pesticide use, and a rating system for restaurants.
It was finally her handling of the SARS crisis of 2003 that killed 44 people and started in Scarborough Grace Hospital where Basrur emerged as a pre-eminent voice of public health.
