Dr. Bonnie Henry (’86) and a call that has echoed across the country
By Mary-Jo Dionne (’94)
On the day Dr. Bonnie Henry was profiled by
The New York Times as being “one of the most effective public health officials in the world,” I was making skirts for gerbils. My seven-year-old daughter was pet-sitting when the idea took hold, and while the act of transforming cupcake liners into gerbil skirts is an impressive feat, the profile of British Columbia’s tireless Provincial Health Officer shone a light on the contrast between our post-Mount-A lives.
While there have been dips and spikes — and spikes and dips — in the number of daily reported COVID-19 cases in BC, from the onset of the pandemic the unifying constant for the people of this province has been Dr. Henry. Plans are made and adjusted based on our shared desire to watch her briefings — a hush seems to fall over the province. She explains complex concepts in digestible terms. She merges science with compassion. This is a leader who will cry at the mic, thereby making it okay for us all to show vulnerability. She is soft-spoken yet powerful — her voice, the medical community’s Leonard Cohen: soothing, melodic. When she speaks, overwhelmingly we listen.
