NHH President and CEO has announced her retirement.
Following more than seven years in the leadership role of Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH), President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Linda Davis has notified the NHH Board of Directors of her intention to retire later this year.
Davis will remain in the position until her successor is identified, with the goal of retiring by August 1, 2021.
Pam Went, Board Chair of NHH, says they were sorry to receive this news but that Davis leaves them in very good standing for the future: with financial stability, enhanced services to better meet the needs of the growing and diverse population, strategic capital improvements, strong community collaboration through the Ontario Health Team of Northumberland—an innovative model of care delivery Linda has championed from the start—and a culture of teamwork that is inclusive of both health-care providers and the patients and families we serve.
Davis deferred her decision to retire for some time due to the unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19.
The Board adds that Davis has been an exceptional leader and are thankful for all the expertise she brought to this critical role, the vision she has had for continuously building on the rich history of this exceptional community hospital, and the tireless dedication she has brought to the role of President and CEO each and every day.
A recruitment committee is being struck and the Board will be initiating its search for the next President and CEO of NHH in the coming weeks.
