David McNeil, the new man at the helm at Health Sciences North , said he is pleased to be back in Sudbury.
Among other things, McNeil is a registered nurse and began working at the old Laurentian Hospital in 1991. Over the years, he rose through the ranks and eventually spent more than 20 years on the hospital executive leadership team, which included being senior vice-president. "So I think the community can be proud of this organization," he said. "We've just recently been accredited and the organization got a designation of exemplary accreditation status, meaning that the community can be confident that the service quality here is of the highest standard that one could expect from any hospital system in Canada, according to accreditation standards.
He said based on what he has seen so far he has no obvious concerns for the financial health of the hospital at the moment."In the first year, I think part of what we need to achieve is getting a strategic plan done, making sure that the organization remains financially strong and financially viable, that we are beginning our discussions around how do we look? And what does the facility look like into the future to meet the capacity needs of the community," he said.
He added that once plans are made, it is likely that expansion will take place at the site of the current hospital complex on Ramsey Lake Road.
