The volunteer board of directors for Chatham-Kent’s hospital has chosen a new chair.
During its annual meeting on Thursday, the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Board of Directors elected Deb Crawford to the position.
“I am honoured to have been selected as the next Board Chair for CKHA and look forward to working with the board and administration to support the delivery of high-quality local health care,” said Crawford in a news release
Crawford will fill the role effective immediately and succeeds Alan Wildeman who has completed a two-year term as board chair.
“[Craford] brings extensive experience in governance on a local, provincial and national level, and her esteemed career in the education field and academic achievements, make her well-suited for this role,” said Wildeman.
Crawford joined CKHA’s Board of Directors in January 2022 and was previously the director of education for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board before retiring in 2021.
