With great sadness, we are writing to inform you of the sudden passing after a short illness of one HFHT’s family physicians, Dr. Arielle (Ari) Schneider. She passed away peacefully on October 28, surrounded by family and friends.
Ari completed her residency training at the Department of Family Medicine, McMaster University, in 2017 and had been working within the HFHT at Southwest Family Health Centre, since 2015, as a resident, then locum, and ultimately as a physician partner. She was known among her colleagues and patients for her warmth, sincerity, and concern for the wellbeing of others. She took extra care to advocate for those in need and contributed to an uplifting clinic environment. Ari was a bright light in our community and her presence will be sorely missed.
As the Southwest family navigates next steps, HFHT is on the ground providing support and guidance during this tragic time.
We will update you on how we will be honouring Ari in the near future.
Sincerely,
Dr. Benjamin Croft, on behalf of Southwest Family Health Centre
Dr. Brian McKenna, Lead Physician
