For more than 25 years, Dr. Ramin Hamedani has been a trusted physician, compassionate leader, and the heart of Grace Hospital. This short documentary celebrates a life dedicated to caring for others.

From his journey as an immigrant from Iran to his role as Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Hamedani's story is one of resilience, humility, and service. Through cinematic visuals, intimate interviews, and personal reflections, including his love of photography and family, Heart of Grace offers a moving portrait of a man whose quiet leadership has shaped the lives of patients, colleagues, and the community he serves.

Created for the 2025 Grace Gala, this film honors Dr. Hamedani as the recipient of the Pearl McGonigal Award, celebrating a legacy built on compassion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to others. It is a reminder that true leadership is defined not by position, but by purpose.

Heart of Grace shows how  a deeply personal portrait can honour a life of service while helping a nonprofit communicate the people, values and purpose at the heart of its mission.
