The Department of Medicine is deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Emerita Arline McLean, a trailblazer in the field of neurology at a time when there were not many women the specialty and a friend and mentor to many here in the department. Dr. McLean was one of the first neurologists to specialize in neurophysiology and was instrumental in implementing and leading the Sunnybrook Neurophysiology Lab for more than two decades - a lab that she built and that lives on today, serving countless patients. More information on Dr. McLean and her memorialization can be found here
The family requests donations in lieu of flowers to The Toronto Humane Society and The Sunnybrook Hospital Department of Neurology. Online condolences and donations may be placed at www.jackandthompsonfuneralhome.com
