Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) held its 2021-2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) Wednesday.
Board Chair Lon Cullen spoke at the beginning of the virtual meeting and thanked their executive management team for their leadership, determination, and commitment over one of the most challenging years PMH has ever experienced.
"To our staff, our local health-care heroes, there are not enough words to thank you for your contributions every day, especially during the trying and challenging times of the pandemic. Day in, day out, you ensure the best possible care and services [are] provided within Prairie Mountain Health," Cullen adds.
Cullen went on to say that their staff are the heart and soul of PMH, adding that their dedication and commitment to providing health care in the region is extraordinary.
CEO Brian Schoonbaert says that over the next year, the board and executive management team will continue to advance their regional strategic goals in coordination with their partners, Manitoba Health and Shared Health.
"And of course along with all of our stakeholders, including the communities we serve," Schoonbaert adds.
After Schoonbaert's remarks, a pre-recorded presentation titled "A Year in Review" was shown.
Following the video, Finance Committee Chair Brad Collett delivered remarks on the health region's finance team.
"During the fiscal year, we hired a new chief financial officer. His name is Dan McGregor... and he comes to us from the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Dan is extremely well qualified and does a tremendous job leading Prairie Mountain Health's finance team," Collett adds.
