JOSEPH BRANT HOSPITAL BOARD OF
DIRECTORS 2019-2020
Our leadership team is actively working on steering
our future with a reset to our operations through and
post-pandemic operations. Guided by our Strategic
Plan, with patients and families central to our focus,
we will continue to deliver excellent patient care,
while developing and implementing our guide to fiscal
sustainability.
This past year has been a truly remarkable time,
characterized by truly remarkable people. Our thanks
to our community who has been so generous in
donating PPE, gift cards, Easter flowers, Mother’s
Day orchids, and so many more generous donations
in support of Joseph Brant Hospital - we have been
overwhelmed by the support of our community and
we are truly grateful.
Thank you to all of the individuals who generously
gave their time to serve on our Board and our
Committees in 2019 – 2020. Thank you to our JBH
staff and physicians for your courage, your strength,
your excellence, and your professionalism.
You have all risen to the challenge with a fierce
determination to overcome one of the biggest threats
to public health in our lifetimes. You are all healthcare
heroes.
