Everyone is welcome to attend the open portion of the agenda of the regularly-scheduled Board of Directors Meetings.
Join the Board
The
Deep River and District Hospital, the North Renfrew Family Health Team, and the
Four Seasons Lodge Long-Term Care (DRDH) is seeking candidates to serve on its
Board of Directors and standing Committees.
The
DRDH Board of Directors is responsible for governance of the multi-sector
organization and guiding its exciting future within the health system. The
campus of care at DRDH is expanding, innovating, and modernizing, and the Board
of Directors is looking for new volunteers to provide guidance and direction to
meet the growing needs of our communities.
The
Board of Directors provides crucial oversight for setting the organization’s
mission and strategic direction, and supports the advancement of strategic
goals. Within a skills-based Board, DRDH strives for the composition of the
Board to reflect the diversity of the communities served.
Serving
as a Director of a health care Board can be an incredibly meaningful and
rewarding experience for those looking to contribute to their community. Directors
are elected for three-year terms and Patient / Resident Representatives are
appointed annually to participate in standing Committees. All Committees of the
Board generally meet quarterly or at the call of the Chair, and the Board
typically meets monthly – except for July and August.
Join
the Board to help ensure DRDH achieve its vision of an excellent, compassionate
health care experience, every time. Applicants are invited to bring their
skills, experience, and enthusiasm to serve on our Board of Directors or a
standing Committee by submitting an application, which is available on the DRDH
website or by calling 613-584-3333 ext 7100. Kindly submit applications to Amy
Joyce (amy.joyce@drdh.org) before April 15 each year.
