Post by Sinai Health Foundation

More than 100 years ago, the women of the Ezras Noshem came together to help build a foundation for care in our community. Today, that legacy of volunteerism lives on through the people who give their time, talent and leadership to Sinai Health. Now in its third year, The Ezras Awards recognize volunteer leaders whose generosity, leadership and service continue to shape the future of Sinai Health. We are proud to recognize our 2026 recipients: 🏆Lawrence Tanenbaum, O.C. – Dorothy Dworkin Lifetime Achievement Award Winner As Vice-Chair of the Sinai Health Board and Chair of the Research Committee, Larry has helped shape Sinai Health's research strategy for over five decades. His leadership has strengthened the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute and helped attract the scientific talent driving discoveries that will improve care for generations to come. 🏆 Dr. Laurel Linetsky-Fleisher – Ben Sadowski Volunteer of the Year Award Winner Laurel has brought people together in support of Sinai Health research for many years. Through her leadership of a Venture Sinai group and commitment to community-building, she has helped raise significant support for the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute. 🏆 Richard Pilosof – Ben Sadowski Volunteer of the Year Award Winner Richard's connection to Sinai Health began through his family's experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and has grown into more than 30 years of service.
