Colleagues and friends of Ontario’s next top doctor describe him as a competent public health expert, straight shooter and excellent communicator

Medical officer of Health for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington health unit, Dr. Kieran Moore speaks with the media at the Strathcona Paper Centre in Napanee, Ont., on March 15, 2021.The doctor who will guide Ontario’s path out of the COVID-19 pandemic is being described by colleagues and friends as a competent public health expert, straight shooter and excellent communicator.

Paterson credits Moore for pushing the province for a regional approach in lifting its restrictions and has recently been advocating for schools in his region to be able to reopen as soon as possible. He stands in the videos next to a long sheets of paper draped over a white board. Different points are marked by different colours, and he methodically goes through each, like a teacher in front of a class.“That was very, very successful because when you’re pitching to the public, you have to pitch it at a level that everybody can understand,” said Dr. Gerald Evans, the medical director of infection prevention and control at Kingston Health Sciences Centre.

There are only 11 active cases of COVID-19 in the region that serves nearly 214,000 people. Only three people have died from COVID-19, and, notably, none in long-term care. Moore brought in the “emergency department surveillance system” that tracked what patients were coming into hospital with, he said. It was a way to detect, for example, an outbreak of influenza, much more quickly while awaiting lab results.Moore always wanted to figure out a better way to decrease the numbers he was seeing inside hospitals, and felt he had to move upstream to the public health realm, Evans said.

“He’s a smart, passionate, energetic and principle-based guy who is proactive in his approach,” Huyer said.
