New Chair at the Helm!

North Bay Regional Health Centre Welcomes New Board Chair

Michael Lowe is the new Chair of the North Bay Regional Health Centre Board of Directors, replacing out-going Chair Phil Geden.

Geden has been the Chairman of the NBRHC Board since April 1, 2011. He was the inaugural board chair of NBRHC and was instrumental in leading the amalgamation of the North Bay General Hospital (NBGH) and the Northeast Mental Health Centre (NEMHC). Geden will remain on the Board as the Chair of the Governance committee.

“We’re pleased to welcome Michael as the new Chair of the Board of Directors,” says Phil Geden. “Michael brings to this leadership role familiarity with NBRHC due to his time on the Board as Vice Chair, and also a depth of experience and knowledge of the health care system, which will be a great asset to the Board and our health centre.”

Lowe is the Controller at the St. Joseph’s Motherhouse, and has served as the Board’s Vice-Chair for three years.

All NBRHC Board positions are volunteer.
