Quinte Health announces the 2024/25 board of directors, including four new members who bring experience and expertise to the highly skills-based board. They are Pam Jolliffe, Catherine Gosselin-Després, Reta Coburn, and Steve Geist.
Quinte Health is governed by a volunteer board of directors responsible for monitoring quality and effectiveness, establishing strategic direction and ensuring financial and organizational viability. The board’s role includes setting the plan for the family of four hospitals and community services, monitoring Quinte Health’s ongoing financial health, performance and patient care, and ensuring an effective two-way flow of communication with the public Quinte Health serves.
Lisa O’Toole was elected for a second year in the role of board chair and Gary Hannaford was reelected as vice chair and treasurer. O’Toole welcomed the new members and thanked the current directors for their continued service on the Quinte Health Board of Directors.
