Born and raised in Toronto. My loves in life are two: my dog, Baxter, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. My spare time is spent reading, at the dog park, snowboarding as much as is humanly possible, and with my family (two brothers and a sister). I take a yearly trip to Jamaica to teach bedside ultrasound to physicians from around the country, and hope to bring somebody along next year! Dr. ElHalabi's mentors are Drew Thompson, Ram Reddy and Heather Hames.

Congratulations Heather & Greg!

26 November 2014

Congratulations to Dr. Heather Hames and her husband Greg on the birth of their new son. I have to make special note of the fact that Heather named her son after one of the greatest superheroes of all time. Here's a note from Heather along with some pics!

We wanted to introduce the newest little Hames! Logan Robert, entered the world screaming at 1am on Nov 10 just one hour "late" for his official due date at 7 pounds 6 oz. Thanks so much to the EMA for the flowers and to the support of the entire group throughout my pregnancy

Sincerely
Heather and Greg
