Please note that this meeting will be in Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex and for this month only it will be on the 2nd Wednesday (March 8th). This is to ensure it does not to conflict with March Break (and so we can get the meeting rooms).
The Club's monthly meetings are a key part of the PROBUS experience. They allow the Management Committee to provide updates, and they enable all members to catch up with friends (old and new), discuss upcoming events and activities and to generally participate in the ongoing development of the club. Our monthly meetings are usually held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to noon and there is a $2.00 charge for attending the meeting which helps cover the meeting expenses. Coffee will be served and members are encouraged to bring their own mugs.
PROBUS meetings always feature a guest speaker and this month will be no exception: Matthew Anderson is the President and CEO Of Ontario Health and he will talk to us about the many challenges that Healthcare is facing today and of some upcoming changes being planned and rolled out as a result.
Matthew 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.
