Board of Directors

Overview

Our Board of Directors is an active Board with enthusiastic and hard-working members who bring a wide variety of expertise to the table. 

Health care is a people issue; a community issue and each of our Director’s area of expertise reflect this ideal; a former steel worker, a retired teacher, an experienced municipal councilor, a First Nations Chief, to name a few.  Our Board members bring the face of the communities we serve to our governance table, and as we seek new board members, this wide breadth of skills and expertise will continue to be sought.

In 2009, NE LHIN Interim Chair, Peter Vaudry and his Directors began meeting with hospital Board Chairs to facilitate discussions within the acute care sector on a more patient-focused integrated system of health care. 

These discussions reaped several tangible benefits and in 2010, the NE LHIN Board of Directors will continue to meet with health care governance leaders from sectors beyond acute care. The goal of each and every one of these discussions is a better journey for the patient; enhanced patient care and quality patient care. 

“Patients are our focus; not the numbers, not the stats, not the dollars. We are in the business of people and people will continue to drive our work.”

How does the North East LHIN make decisions?

The North East LHIN Decision Making Framework guides the NE LHIN staff and Board Directors in the evaluation of proposals for new programs and initiatives, changes to existing programs, and integration proposals.

While all NE LHIN decisions are viewed in the context of our mission and vision statement, Health and Wellness for all … through an innovative, sustainable and accountable system, as well as our NE LHIN values, the framework further outlines the criteria and measures taken into account in all NE LHIN decision making.
