With her retirement still more than a year away Haddad said she has plenty of time to think about what is next for her. "I will take at least six months to reflect, relax, spend time with my family and maybe travel a bit before I decide what is next for Mary Jo." Mary Jo Haddad, SickKids' president and CEO "I intend to work as hard as I have in the past 30 years in the year to come," she said.
