Dr. Charles Hayter is a physician and playwright who currently practices the specialty of radiation oncology at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga. He has been published extensively on medical history, including his 2005 book on the history of radium therapy in Canada, An Element of Hope. In 2001 Charles was awarded the John B. Neilson Award for his significant long-standing contributions to the history of health care in Canada. Prior to medical school, he did graduate studies in drama, and throughout his medical career he has maintained an active involvement in theatrical performance and writing.
