| Meet Our March Speaker
Matthew Anderson is an experienced healthcare leader, team-builder and advocate for positive change and as the President of Ontario Health he is leading one of the largest mergers in healthcare history bringing together 22 agencies. Matthew began his career in data analytics and IT. He became Vice President and Chief Information Officer at the University Health Network (UHN) in 2000 and in 2008 he was named CEO of the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network. Then in 2010, he became CEO of William Osler Health System and was the President and CEO of Lakeridge Health before taking up his current position. Matthew is married with three children and numerous pets. Matthew was originally scheduled to talk to us about the Lakeridge Health network back in 2019 but this had to be canceled due to COVID. Since then he has gone on to bigger and better things and is clearly a very busy person doing an incredibly important job that will affect all of us and our children and grandchildren going forward. So we are very privileged that he is taking this time out to talk to us on such an important subject. I would like to thank a long time member of our club, Joyce Perrin, who worked with Matthew in the past for making this happen. Laura Current Newsletter The March 2023 Newsletter is now available, enjoy! |
