He will lead our team of volunteers and employees to new levels of success as we reach for our ambitious goal of a new hospital for the north.
“As a relative newcomer to Prince Albert, it is incredible to see what the community has accomplished when it comes together. The outpouring of support for the new NICU is one such example of this.I am excited to work with the donors, volunteers, staff, and Indigenous partners to provide greater access to enhanced and inclusive health care close to home. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people not only in Prince Albert but across northern Saskatchewan.”
