Health Minister Ted Flemming announcing that John McGarry is the new CEO of the Horizon Health Network and Rino Volpé is the new CEO of the Vitalité Health Network starting February 1st.
Volpe and McGarry have been the co-chairs of the office of Health Renewal since its creation last spring.
The office works to ensure provincial health care services compare with similar services nation wide and benchmarks are in place to make sure they are sustainable, safe and offer quality.
Health Minister Ted Flemming says its time to begin a transition to sustainable care and it makes sense that these individuals continue their efforts as CEOs.
Horizon Health Network board chair David Ferguson noted Don Peters many achievements saying it was no small task amalgamating four independent regional health authorities into a single health network.
Peters turned 65 recently and asked that his contract not be renewed.
