Some familiar faces have joined the board of directors at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance.

Walpole Island Chief Dan Miskokomon and Jeff Wesley, both with a long history of advocacy, assumed their posts last week.

Miskokomon previously served on the CKHA board from 2018-2021 and has compiled years of management, financial, and strategic planning skills.

“On behalf of CKHA’s Board of Directors, we are delighted to welcome back Chief Miskokomon to our Board. Through his storied executive and operational experience, he brings with him a wide range of management, financial, administrative and strategic planning skills,” said Alan Wildeman, Chair, CKHA Board of Directors. “It is a priority of the Board to attract members who bring the skills we need to ensure that we can offer guidance to the important work of CKHA administration and staff, and provide oversight on behalf of the community served by CKHA.”

Wesley served in volunteer roles for various hospital and health care committees over the past three decades. His previous roles include Director and Chair of the former Sydenham District Hospital Board; Director, CKHA Board; Director, CKHA Foundation; and Chair of the Save Our Sydenham Committee.

“In addition to recently joining our Building Community Advisory Committee to inform the next stage of planning and design for the Wallaceburg Site, we are pleased to now welcome Mr. Wesley to our Board of Directors,” said Mr. Wildeman. “Mr. Wesley has an extensive track-record of serving the Wallaceburg area and working with multiple stakeholders and community groups. His skills and knowledge will be a great addition to our Board and guiding CKHA in its delivery of safe, high quality care.”
