Posted on June 3: MBA student receives inaugural award for excellence in health services management

Sabrina Ciardelli, MBA '03 will be awarded the Allan J. Greve St. Joseph's Healthcare Medal for Excellence in Health Services Management at the DeGroote School of Business Convocation today. The prize of a gold medal and $1,500 is awarded for the highest academic performance of a graduating student in the Health Services Management (HSM) stream in the MBA program.

“I am very honoured to be the first recipient of this prestigious award. It is also a great honour to have an association with Mr. Greve, who has been such an influential leader in the healthcare sector,” Ciardelli remarked.

The MBA student was selected for this distinction as a result of her stellar academic performance she achieved the highest cumulative grade point average ever recorded within the HSM program. Ciardelli also completed a double major, pairing health services with marketing.

“Sabrina is an exemplary student. Her grade point average was well above the rest of the class, and she showed strong leadership skills within the classroom and during her work term placements as well,” explains Dr. D. Wayne Taylor, director of the Health Services Management stream.

In addition to her strong academic performance, Ciardelli found time to sit on student committees and act as a mentor for new MBA students. She is currently employed as a product manager for Stryker, a health care products manufacturer.

The medal is named in honour of Allan J. Greve, former president and CEO of St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. The award recognizes Greve's success in establishing St. Joseph's as a major academic health sciences centre renowned for its strong management, clinical and fiscal performance, and innovation and academic excellence. Greve continues to be an important advisor to government, industry and health care institutions.

Allan Greve will take part in the Convocation procession and ceremony.
