John Mulvihill, C.M.
Toronto, Ontario
Member of the Order of Canada
For his philanthropic contributions and voluntary service to healthcare.
Motivated by his father’s experience with illness, John Mulvihill has made important contributions to health care. A prominent member of the business community and an ardent defender of our publicly funded system, he has devoted countless volunteer
hours to Toronto’s University Health Network (UHN). As chair of its board of trustees, he transformed its governance structure and introduced unprecedented oversight practices that have secured its financial position for the future. He also contributed
significantly to the UHN’s campaigns to create Ontario’s first Gamma Knife facility and to build the Krembil Discovery Tower.
